If 5.6.1 is the official minimum, then maybe this brings back up the -w
vs. warnings issue? Since Ovid pointed out that 5.6 was the minimum for
the warnings pragma, and 5.6.1 is your "official" minimum, it seems
maybe the choice is back on the table.
Tim, its your baby, what do you say?

This brings up a point of how backwards compatible do you (Tim) want
this all too be? I assume that DBI needs to support the widest
possible
audience,
Yes. As far as practical.
but is there any official "must be supported" list that we
should know about?
Perl 5.6.1 is the official minimum. I started using Test::More a few
releases ago even though its not part of 5.6.1 and no one complained.
The most "very recent" version of Test::More is from August 2002.
I agree with this, I think the furthest back I would want to go is
0.40
(Dec 2001), since that was when cmp_ok was added, and I use that
pretty
heavily.
I've added that version to PREREQ_PM in Makefile.PL
Tim.
