in thread Question about making modules.

I'm with you there. Being able to specify minimum feature requirements vs. minimum version is a much nicer solution, and not just for Perl versions.

In the meantime, specifying a minimum Perl version is better than failing randomly after installation. To me, "use 5.006_000;" is important because of the number of times I've moved files from Pure-Perl modules around and hit random bugs.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
