=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::PerlMinimumVersion - Enforce backward compatible code.
=head1 AFFILIATION
This policy is part of L<Perl::Critic::More|Perl::Critic::More>, a bleeding
edge supplement to L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
As Perl evolves, new desirable features get added. The best ones seem to
break backward compatibility, unfortunately. This policy allows you to
specify a mandatory compatibility version for your code.
For example, if you add the following to your F<.perlcriticrc> file:
[Modules::PerlMinimumVersion]
version = 5.005
then any code that employs C<our> will fail this policy, for example. By
default, this policy enforces the current Perl version, which is a pretty weak
statement.
This policy relies on L<Perl::MinimumVersion|Perl::MinimumVersion> to do the
heavy lifting. If that module is not installed, then this policy always
passes.
