Decide when require perl 5.6.2 to run PPI

[moregan]

Right now PPI requires perl 5.6.0. I put together (with some aggravation) a perlbrewed 5.6.2 to test with, but have no version earlier than that. cpantesters has tried pre-5.6.2 for ages (PPI 1.201). Clearly support for pre-5.6.2 is vanishing faster than support for 5.6.2. How much longer will PPI promise to run on 5.6.[01]? How to keep it working on 5.6.[01] while it's still nominally supported?

I'm happy to maintain compatibility with whatever the toolchain group backcompat target is.

These days I'm pretty sure it is at least 5.8.1. It may have bumped again since I last looked. On Dec 6, 2014 2:37 PM, "moregan" [email protected] wrote:

The toolchain gang target is currently Perl 5.8.1: https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md
