Comment (by bruce.miller@…):

 I would second that proposal. Although it's possible for a program to
 depend on the perl version, it's most often of the form that it requires
 any version newer than Perl 5.xx, but not a specific version. The most
 frequent issue that I've seen between perl versions is that newer versions
 generate more warning messages, particularly about dubious style, but the
 programs continue to function correctly.

 So, I would suggest normally defaulting to whatever Perl is installed, but
 provide a means to specify "version newer than" for the few that need it,
 and the even fewer that need a specific version can specify that version
 as they currently do.
