+=item C89 requirement
+
+Perl has been documented as requiring a C89 compiler to build since October
+1998. A variety of simpliifcations have now been made to Perl's internals to
+rely on the features specified by the C89 standard. We believe that this
+internal change hasn't altered the set of platforms that Perl builds on, but
+please report a bug if Perl now has new problems building on your platform.
