  • I think the main problem with that for most distributions is that you can specify the mininum version of Perl in the Build.PL but it doesn't get translated to the Makefile.PL. Needs a patch from someone to kickstart it, but I imagine that version issues might kick in.

    • I believe that M::B 0.2808_01 (or else the SVN version) have patches for M::B::Compat to put a "use 5.00X" in the generated Makefile.PL if 'perl' is specified in the Build.PL as a prerequisite.

      Patches for EU::MM to support 'perl' in PREREQ_PM have been on RT for a while. I think Schwern finally compromised to the need for it at the Oslo hackathon as part of the Oslo Consensus -- don't know if it's been put to code yet though. Version problems apply for back compatibility... which is what configure_requires in META.yml is for... which has bootstrap problems too. Oh, well.
