Minimum version is inconsistent #701

Closed robrwo closed 10 months ago

robrwo commented 10 months ago

The minimum version in cpanfile is set to v5.12 but a lot of the code, and the minimum version according to metacpan, is still 5.8.

This is because most of Plack actually runs on 5.8 just fine, but because the upstream dependencies require 5.12 (even 5.14 actually) I needed to update the distribution's dependency to make sure I don't get false reports.

I see no reason to update each file to 5.12 etc. because these codes work just fine on older perls if they manually grab and install the distribution and there's no need to torture them further.
