I'm all for dropping support of 5.5. Move up to 5.8.

For a pure Perl module (I don't even think any of our dependencies require XS), if we can maintain compatibility without too much trouble, I think we should.

There were things added after 5.5 such as easy lexical filehandles [ open(my $fh, $filename) ] that I just wouldn't want to give up now.

What I don't want to do is have us all have to maintain an old 5.6 install just to test it there before every release.
