Perhaps you would benefit from stepping back from this for a bit?

Do you intend for your comments to sound condescending and insulting?

Do you mean for your comments to sound thin-skinned, whiny, and off-topic?

Do you really mean to give the impression the only reason someone would use anything newer than 5.8 is because he or she thinks adding "\n" to the end of every print is onerous

If you weren't being so thin-skinned, then you might have been able to read how clearly it was stated that none of what you say above is what was meant.

That there exist quite valid even compelling reasons for a particular module to not support some particular older version of Perl does not contradict that there are module versions that explicitly don't work on versions of Perl for which the only reasons are trivial and/or stupid.

Complaining about the latter is not the same as complaining about the former. If you have not produced instances of the latter, then you certainly shouldn't take such complaints as insults (and even if you have, you still don't need to).
