in thread Deciding dependency versions

Older versions of perl (where old is very relative) will also be seen a lot on EOL Os's and OS releases where the (end-)user has no means to update/upgrade to a newer release. This includes OS's like AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Irix (and a lot of others) that still run production code but do not support major updates/upgrades for vital software. Sometimes life sucks.

    Good point!

    Not that I need to worry about it right now as all the modules I am creating connect to web API's so they are useless on an installation with no means to update. But I'm sure I won't always write API modules!
