I was wondering if there is a minimum Perl requirement for Dancer, and
for how long it will be compatible with older versions like 5.8 /
5.10. I use OpenBSD and I doubt they will bundle 5.12 for some time
with their distribution and precompiled mod_perl package. In fact, I
am still on 5.8.8 on my dev box and no problems with Dancer so far.
My production system that runs Dancer is running 5.8 as well.
Right now we're sticking with 5.8.8 or 5.8.6 at least.
There are really no plans right now to move to 5.10 minimal dependency, not to mention 5.12.
There's just nothing holding us back right now that makes us want or think about upgrading.
Also, we will probably always remain enough backwards compatible for the annoying distros (OpenBSD, RedHat, etc.) so I wouldn't worry much. If we ever find such a need, we'll raise it on the mailing list properly for sure, and discuss it with the community.
Have a good day! :)
