The README file currently lists three different minimum perl versions
supported by mod_perl, depending on how mod_perl is to be built:
* 5.6.1 for dynamic mod_perl with prefork mpm, or static mod_perl with
prefork mpm and ithreads support
* 5.8.0 for dynamic or static mod_perl with non-prefork
The mod_perl trunk now contains a bunch of fixes for recent versions of
perl, especially with respect to changes to rehashing. These changes
will be necessary for mod_perl to build with the forthcoming perl
5.18.0. That is due to be released on 18th May, and the perl repo is in
full code freeze
I can't find the thread, but i think when we last ran into a
compatibility problem with 5.8 and newer perls we decided that we
weren't going to support anything old unless it was easy. In that
case it was a two line change to support 5.8, so we did.
I'm not sure how we want to define old right

+1. There was one issue I wanted to resolve with the YAML file using
version_from insteas if version, but I will start the release wheels. This
won't have httpd 2.4 compat yet correct?

The core's version of old already excludes 5.12. According to
perlpolicy.pod, only the two most recent stable release series are
supported: currently 5.14 and 5.16, and with the imminent release of
5.18 that means 5.14 will drop off support too.
Do we want to be that drastic? It's quite a change

Yes, my understanding is that the httpd-2.4 compat changes are all
currently in a branch, which I keep trying to find time to take a look
at!... :-/
I think it would be good to knock off perl-5.18 support first, and then
we can concentrate fully on httpd-2.4 after that.

Sounds good to me
