=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::RequirePerlVersion - Require a C<use 5.006;> or similar.
=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. As a favor to downstream
developers, it's good to state explicitly which Perl version will not be able
to parse your code.
For example, the C<our> keyword was first appeared in a stable Perl in version
5.6.0. Therefore, if your code employs C<our>, then you should have a line
like this near the very top of your file:
use 5.006;
or
use v5.6.0;
The former is preferred as the latter can trigger v-string compatibility
warnings. (If someone could please explain that to me, I'd really appreciate
it!)
Additionally, it's good form to state that minimum version in your
F<Makefile.PL> or F<Build.PL> file.
