Sounds good to me

The core's version of old already excludes 5.12. According to

Do we want to be that drastic? It's quite a change from the current
README, but I don't see why not. I always have the impression that
people are keen to use the latest stable Apache, so why shouldn't we
expect them to use recent perls too? We aren't saying that it doesn't
work with perls older than 5.14, just that we don't undertake to solve
problems with such perls (although we still might if, as you say, it
happens to be a two-line change to do so).
So I would be in favour of changing the README to say that we only
undertake to support currently supported perl versions (we don't even
need to enumerate them, just leave the statement at that), and maybe add
a note to the effect that things are currently known to work back to
5.8.2 (and possibly earlier in some configurations) but that this is not
officially supported.
