Usually, that kind of info is in perldelta, but nice effort nonetheless.

    Thanks stevieb. I know changes are in perldelta, but I've seen several places in the docs where it mentions minimum version needed for a feature ...

    perlrun: As of 5.8.1, the -C can be followed either by a number or a list of op +tion letters. perlrun: Note: Since perl 5.10.1, if the -C option is used on the #! line, it m +ust be specified on the command line as well perlretut: The //a modifier, available starting in Perl 5.14, is used to restrict + the matches of \d, \s, and \w to just those in the ASCII range.
    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    perldeltas are just that, a summary, the "new since v12.12.12" info needs to be in the main docs
