We now support the most recent 2 major versions of Perl, so that we can start using some of the features added in the last 5 years.

@tom-binary tom-binary self-assigned this Jul 15, 2024
Perl has a yearly release cycle for major versions. Since we tend to
track new features quite closely, and lacking a huge team for
backward-compatibility porting, we're applying a 2-version policy:

- we support the current and previous major versions
- that means the minimum required Perl version is likely to increase yearly
- although we only apply this when a feature from a newer version of
  Perl is required
@tom-binary tom-binary force-pushed the dependency/perl_major_version_policy branch from b865a23 to aaf4356 Compare July 17, 2024 06:10
