José Joaquín Atria commented on AVRO-1514:
------------------------------------------
Ten years later, the current minimal version of Perl is 5.10.1, but a recent
change (merged as part of AVRO-3998) changed the dependency on JSON::XS to
JSON::MaybeXS, with the same rationale as in this ticket (that depending on a
compatibility layer allows users to decide what backend to use).

> 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
