Earlier Perls (Score:2)

For me I'd like to see point 2 be Perl 5.6.1 or higher. There are still a lot of Perl apps out there running 5.6.1 for various reasons. I still get emails from people who find my CPAN testers reports asking about installing modules on Windows for 5.6.1.

  fwiw, here's an installer to test based on perl 5.6.1:

  You should also be able to install just gcc and nmake to enable compiling with an existing activeperl install.
  
  Cheers,
  Stephen
