Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PerlVersionPrereqs - set additional prereqs for older perls
version 0.01
; dist.ini [PerlVersionPrereqs / 5.010] Perl6::Say = 0
When perl gets new features, oftentimes they are reimplemented as CPAN modules for earlier perls which don't have those features. It's a bit silly to unconditionally depend on those backwards compatiblity modules if they are just going to do nothing at all on the version of perl you're installing them on though, so this module allows you to specify that certain dependencies aren't required on perls newer than a certain version.
NOTE: This plugin only works on dists that are using the default [MakeMaker] plugin.
