Thank you for this warning!  I hadn't realized there was an OS that
shipped a Perl this old that was still supported.

I don't think this is enough to change my plans given the decision to
advance the minimum version of Perl expected for toolchain packages, but
I'm glad to know about it so that I can keep an eye out for any issues.

Thank you!  This is very useful.
