in thread Parse::RecDescent and need for speed

At one point, theDamian said he would rewrite it to use pos (which wasn't available in 5.004 when he wrote PRD)
First non-comment, non-whitespace line of Parse::RecDescent:
use 5.005;

    In fact, the original was written for 5.004, because it was written on MacPerl, which was only 5.004 at the time.

    The use 5.005 was no doubt added later when some other feature required 5.005.
