G'day cavac,

"... 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.
