If that construct is ever used to protect rules that use more-recent perl syntax, we will have to accept that older SA will behave this way. However, it is a *warning*, not a fatal error. And it's better than the rule killing lint and blocking sa-update completely on an install that uses an older perl
don't get me wrong but this *warning* triggers cron mails and spits messages in case of every SA related command - that's unacceptable and in fact worser than without that check
before *only* outdated perl versions where affected, now it hits also recent Fedora setups working before without any warning and with that rule included
if that rule can't work in most environments and not made conditionally it has to be dropped at all because it has more drawbacks than benefits
