Re^2: What's your preferred 'use VERSION' for new CPAN modules in 2023?

"... Net::Clacks already uses 5.36 ..."

Might I suggest that the documentation for this module clearly states that.

Also consider adding MIN_PERL_VERSION to the Makefile.PL. I believe that will ensure 'make' fails and a subsequent 'make test' will not be attempted — see the only current Cygwin "Report for Net-Clacks-27" for an example of multiple tests failing with "Error: Perl v5.36.0 required...".

More driven by a love of Discworld 😍 than any particular need for this module, I attempted to install it using four different Perl versions. When "CPAN Testers Matrix: Net-Clacks 27" is next updated, you should see three green (PASS) and one orangey (NA) swatches, in the Cygwin column, for versions v5.39.3, v5.38.0, v5.36.0 and v5.34.0, respectively.

Thanks, will do! Now i have another reason to release a new version. Guess that's another excuse down the drain not to do any open source work over the holidays ;-) PerlMonks XP is useless? Not anymore: XPD - Do more with your PerlMonks XP	[reply]
