5.8 as minimum is probably for the best. It's not that just you can
compile a newer version (5.8), more importantly, Perl 5.8 is available
as a package from those semi-official 3party repositories for most
systems (at least the *nix systems I have access to), except for those
like Irix 6.2 where it's hopeless anyway (perl 5.0). But I only have
access to irix/aix/solaris/tru64 in addition to Linux.
