Re^4: specify minimum perl version with Makefile.PL?

I do not understand why using MIN_PERL_VERSION shows that message

Because your version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is older than 6.48

I am now using a simple use 5.008001; at the start of Makefile.PL.

It's not as good since the info won't make into META.yml.

I am using a standard perl install on Ubunutu 9.10, perl version is 5.10.0. So including MIN_PERL_VERSION won't achieve what I want on those versions where I need it in the first place :) It seems I have to use "use <version>" to make this work. However I could include the MIN_PERL_VERSION in addition and not worry about the warning that appears for the parameter in earlier versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker.	[reply]
