Alex Moundalexis commented on AVRO-1514:
----------------------------------------
Fairly safe bet most folks are running 5.8.1 or newer. According to [CPAN
binaries|http://www.cpan.org/ports/binaries.html], 5.8.8 has been available
since CentOS 4, Debian Etch (4.0), Fedora Bordeaux (5), Mac OS X Leopard
(10.5), Red Hat 5, Ubuntu Hardy (8.04LTS), etc.

> If we assume a non-ancient perl (>=5.8.1), we can clean up the dependencies:
> (build) Module::Install: bundle it
> (build) Module::Install::ReadmeFromPod: keep
> (build) Module::Install::Repository: remove, hardcode repository value
> instead of autodetecting
> (build) Test::More 0.88: keep, but note requisite version built in starting
> at 5.10.1
> (test) Test::Exception: keep
> (test) Test::Pod: declare (missing in Makefile.PL)
> (test/run) Math::BigInt: don't declare, now built-in
> (run) JSON::XS: replace with JSON to not tie to a backend
> (run) parent: keep, but note built-in starting at 5.10.1
> (run) Compress::Zlib: keep, but note built-in starting at 5.9.3
> (run) IO::String: replace with perl 5.8 functionality
> (run) Encode: don't declare, now built-in
> (run) Regexp::Common: keep
> (run) Object::Tiny: keep
> (run) Try::Tiny: keep
