This is a patch-response to r31585, which required a particular
version of Storable in one file.
Attached, find a patch which bumps our core perl requirement to 5.8.6,
the first time this particular version of Storable was included as a
core module (`corelist -a Storable`). It:
- updates every use/require to be "use 5.8.6;", avoiding any attempt
at backward compatibility. [0]
- updates the docs where appropriate (including NEWS)
- updates files in languages/ too.
- avoids updating anything in lib/Pod/Simple*
- removes the specific version requirement for Storable introduced in r31585.
We've been talking about doing this bump to avoid this problem for
some time. I'd rather fail during the initial attempt to run configure
than have someone with 5.8.0 -then- fail by missing the Storable
requirement below.
All (core) tests pass.
[0] Many of these checks are probably unnecessary in the first place
if we enforce this in Configure.pl, and ripping them out would allow
us to simplify things the next time we had to do this. Doesn't need to
be done for this version to get applied.
