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! :) Sawyer.

I am running OpenBSD-current and use perl 5.12.2 for some months now (it was imported late September 2010). Which means it should be in 4.9. Just to rectify the annoying distro bit. ;-)

Thank you. :) Apparently now RedHat is more behind on OpenBSD, which makes sense, but is sad. I think RHEL 6 will only carry 5.10.x, which is *very* unfortunate. Three cheers for OpenBSD! :)
There is definitely need for support back to *5.8.8* from my side. We went just production with Dancer and RHEL 5. Very unfortunate, but you know, companies... No cheers for EL5 :( On Thu, 2011-03-10 at 13:39 +0200, sawyer x wrote:
