Didn't know Perl::MinimumVersion existed :/

The code never says 5.8.4:

        $VERSION = '0.11';

        # Export the PMV convenience constant
        @EXPORT_OK = 'PMV';

        # The primary list of version checks
        %CHECKS = (
                # Various small things
                _bugfix_magic_errno   => version->new('5.008.003'),

                # Included in 5.6. Broken until 5.8
                _pragma_utf8          => version->new('5.008'),

                _perl_5006_pragmas    => version->new('5.006'),
                _any_our_variables    => version->new('5.006'),
                _any_binary_literals  => version->new('5.006'),
                _magic_version        => version->new('5.006'),
                _any_attributes       => version->new('5.006'),

                _perl_5005_pragmas    => version->new('5.005'),
                _perl_5005_modules    => version->new('5.005'),
                _any_tied_arrays      => version->new('5.005'),
                _any_quotelike_regexp => version->new('5.005'),
                _any_INIT_blocks      => version->new('5.005'),
                );

Would be good to find this out. ALso, the changelog mentions "ignore 
perlvar", could you please fix it?

Best wishes,

Tels
