What's a reasonable 'use VERSION' for new CPAN modules in 2023?
- Prologue paragraph
-
This relates to new CPAN modules only.
It excludes modules relying on external code;
e.g. to support Unicode 13.0, you'd need Perl 5.32 as a minimum.
There are a number of versions from which to select, with potential reasons for doing so;
these are just suggestions, "Other" is a perfectly valid choice.
If you think coding to a preset VERSION is not a good idea, choose "Dynamic".
- One or more choices
-
-
5.003 (Camel Book 2nd Edition)
-
5.6 (Camel Book 3rd Edition)
-
5.8 (stable version for >5 years)
-
5.10 (many new features now in common use)
-
5.16 (Camel Book 4th Edition)
-
5.18 (hash overhaul)
-
5.26 (no "." in @INC)
-
5.36 (subroutine signatures)
-
Other (discuss in comments)
-
Dynamic (no standard; code dictates VERSION)
