Hi Monks, Monkettes, and Monkees:&lt;br&gt;
I have a family of Perl modules that I am cleaning up in preparation for publishing to CPAN. As I was proceeding I noticed in one of my modules 
&lt;code&gt;
use feature 'switch';
&lt;/code&gt;
which I had forgotten I was using.  I have two questions:
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What version did this show up?  (I forget)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What version of Perl is considered "standard" for public consumption?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
Not much sense in releasing a module nobody can use...
&lt;/p&gt;
