Yeah, that is our stated requirement, and we do have buildfarm members checking it on the Unix side (eg prairiedog runs 5.8.6).

May be it is better to use Perl standard module version to compare
version number.
something like:
use version;
unless (version->parse($flexver) > version->parse("2.5.31"))
Postgres requires relatively recent Perl. Version objects appeared in
Perl 5.10 and most people would have something newer.

It seems that 32f15d05 missed to update its equivalent in
src/tools/msvc. Per se the patch attached as you already found out.

[HACKERS] Is postgresql on Windows compatible with flex 2.6.0?
Collegues,
Recently (about a month ago) flex 2.6.0 have been released.
But when we tried to compile PostgreSQL 9.5 beta 1 from git with it on
Windows, we've encountered that src/tools/msvc/pgflex.pl explicitely
checks that minor version of flex is equal to 5.
unless ($verparts[0] == 2 && $verparts[1] == 5 && $verparts[2]
>=31) { print "WARNING! Flex install not found, or unsupported Flex
version.\n"; print "echo Attempting to build without.\n";
exit 0;
}
Is this check intentional, or it just seats here from the time when
version 2.6.0 didn't exist?
Postgres seems to compile fine with flex 2.6.0.
