DESCRIPTION

14       As Perl evolves, new desirable features get added.  The best ones seem
15       to break backward compatibility, unfortunately.  As a favor to
16       downstream developers, it's good to state explicitly which Perl version
17       will not be able to parse your code.
18
19       For example, the "our" keyword was first appeared in a stable Perl in
20       version 5.6.0.  Therefore, if your code employs "our", then you should
21       have a line like this near the very top of your file:
22
23           use 5.006;
24
25       or
26
27         use v5.6.0;
28
29       The former is preferred as the latter can trigger v-string
30       compatibility warnings.  (If someone could please explain that to me,
31       I'd really appreciate it!)
32
33       Additionally, it's good form to state that minimum version in your
34       Makefile.PL or Build.PL file.
