This node has been considered for reaping. The reason given is:

"earlier duplicate of Re: Is there a concerted effort to break CPAN for older perl versions to drive support for v7? (the second has additional text, so reap this earlier node)"

• Both nodes have the same opening paragraphs.
• The node to keep has a final paragraph which starts with "edited addition: ..."
• The node to reap has a final paragraph which starts with "One more addition: ..."

Those two final paragraphs are different; one does not simply represent "additional text".

It would make sense to merge those two different paragraphs into one of the nodes, then reap the other node.

At this point, I'm not voting "reap" on either node.

Edit (afterthought): I think the consideration should be removed until the issue I've described is resolved.
