Martin Tzvetanov Grigorov commented on AVRO-2434:
-------------------------------------------------
I see no problem with moving to 5.24 for Avro 1.12.0.
The other Avro SDKs also update their language versions for 1.12.0, e.g. the
Java SDK moves from Java 8 to Java 11 (or maybe 17), the C++ SDK now requires
C++17 or newer, the Rust SDK requires ~latest-5 (1.78.0 => 1.73.0).
> Make the supported Perl version consistent

> Key: AVRO-2434
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2434
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: perl
> Reporter: Kengo Seki
> Priority: Major
>
> According to BUILD.md, the supported Perl version seems to be 5.24.1+, while
> Avro.pm says 5.8.1+.
> {code:title=BUILD.md}
> The following packages must be installed before Avro can be built:
> (snip)
> - Perl: Perl 5.24.1 or greater, gmake, Module::Install,
> {code}
> {code:title=lang/perl/lib/Avro.pm}
> use 5.008_001;
> {code}
> Which version is the right one? If the former is, we should simply update
> Avro.pm too.
> If the latter is, we should update BUILD.md and Dockerfile to use Perl 5.8.1
> for building and testing.
