Hi choroba,

do you really think the Perl changes matter? Assuming it's Perl 5.8 than it means that newer features are never used and shouldn't be a problem.

In my opinion there are two main fields:

  • Bugfixes which cause different behaviour in old code.
  • Changes and bugfixes in used modules. My first anaysis would try to collect all used modules.

    There might be some deprecations, too. I had to remove many defined %hash even from 5.8.6 code.

    But you're right, modules might be a bigger problem, especially if they're XS but not maintained anymore.
