From http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.58/Changes:

Changes in DBI 1.33, 27th February 2003

  NOTE: Future versions of the DBI *will not* support perl 5.6.0 or earlier.
  : Perl 5.6.1 will be the minimum supported version.

Okay, but ...

Changes in DBI 1.38, 21th August 2003

  NOTE: The DBI now requires perl version 5.6.0 or later.
  (As per notice in DBI 1.33 released 27th February 2003)

Which contradicts the 1.33 section a bit.

Next:

Changes in DBI 1.49 (svn rev 2287), 29th November 2005

  Change to require perl 5.6.1 (as advertised in 2003) not 5.6.0.


But DBI.pm says:

require 5.006_00;

BEGIN {
$DBI::VERSION = "1.58"; # ==> ALSO update the version in the pod text below!
}


So I'm afraid I'm confused by this.  What's the required version?
