make the condition to the SA version, there are already ton's of "if (version

3.4.0 instead of the perl check
why that would work?
well, older RHEL versions as you said won't upgrade SA or perl
that setups would not use the rule, recent ones would
And anyone who is running SA prior to 3.4.0 on perl newer than 5.8.8
(where it would run just fine) does not get the benefit of the rule, and
anyone running 3.4.0 on perl 5.8.8 (which is entirely possible) has their
sa-update lint blow up and they don't get *any* new rules.
The assumption "newer SA = newer perl" is not really justified.
