Remove Perl 5.10 requirement. #5

Closed topaz closed 7 years ago

gnustavo commented 7 years ago

Hi Eric. I'm sorry to have left you waiting for so long.

Do you still need to use JIRA::REST in older Perls than 5.10? May I ask you in which platform you're using it?

I'd rather go forward instead of backward, so that I could start using newer perl constructs. But if the only 5.10 constructs I'm using are the ones you spotted I think I could live for a while with this little restriction. :-)

We do still use it; currently a locally-modified version of the library (with the changes in this pull request) is used on Perl 5.8.8 machines. Because the change was so simple, I submitted it for inclusion. If you want to use newer features instead, that's also fine, but since the only >5.8.8 feature used was //, I removed it. Thanks!

OK, then. I'll downgrade my requirement but I'll require v5.8.8 explicitly instead of leaving it open-ended.

I'll integrate this in the next release.

Thanks!

I just integrated a slightly modified commit on next: 09fddada

I'll be part of the next release.

Thanks!
