From f3b60bf095846ce9290b94a7b1d700ed7bf0f316 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2019 22:05:38 +0000 Subject: start depending on Perl 5.10.1+ I mainly want to start using the '//' (defined-or) operator to simplify code, and Perl 5.10.1 is roughly a decade old at this point. "given/when" would've be nice, but it's future is in doubt AFAIK. I also started using the 'parent' module in WwwHighlight, and 'autodie' in UserContent.pm, both of which were only distributed with Perl since 5.10.1; and testing with ancient versions/distros is time-consuming. Anyways, I think this a small-enough jump to not break any existing installations, given we already depend on fairly recent versions of git and Xapian. Maybe we can use more newish Perl features in the future... --- INSTALL | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index 9470d834..b22d8484 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ public-inbox requires a number of other packages to access its full functionality.
