In fact you should do BOTH! State the minimum required and state the recommended version. The latter should have been thoroughly tested.

Having a lowest supported and a recommended might have a lot of added value to a module. Say that the newest/hippest module adds a feature that can speed up you code by a factor 10, it is worth supporting that with a fallback to the old code if the newest feature is not available.

You META.yml might then have a section similar to:

requires: perl: 5.008001 DBI: 1.628 DBD::File: 0.42 SQL::Statement: 1.405 Text::CSV_XS: 1.01 recommends: DBI: 1.636 DBD::File: 0.44 SQL::Statement: 1.412 Text::CSV_XS: 1.31 configure_requires: ExtUtils::MakeMaker: 0 DBI: 1.628 build_requires: Config: 0 test_requires: Test::Harness: 0 Test::More: 0.90 Encode: 0 Cwd: 0 charnames: 0 test_recommends: Test::More: 1.302085

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
