in reply to Portable way to require Perl 5.8.8

I haven't been able to find a version of Perl that actually warns in require v5.8.8;. All versions I tried either fail (because they don't understand v5.8.8;), or they just accept it.

I've seen people suggesting to use: 

use 5.006;      # First version to accept v-numbers.
require v5.8.8;

    I haven't been able to find a version of Perl that actually warns in require v5.8.8;.

    For Instance, 5.10.0 does: 

    H:\>perl -lwe "use v5.8.8; print 6"
v-string in use/require non-portable at -e line 1.
6

      I see. Interestingly, 5.10.1 doesn't warn.
