No, _you_ have to worry about it.
I, as a module author providing you a free product, don't have to give a
damn. Realistically, authors give some amount of damn, but maybe not a
full "I'll support Perl 5.004 for the poor slobs using ancient Red Hat
boxes".
Personally, my target is generally the two most recent major releases.
Once 5.10 had been out for a while, I stopped testing my modules against
5.6. For new modules, I've been using 5.8-isms.
