Felix 🇺🇦🚴♂️🇨🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰🇲🇽🇵🇦 🇪🇺<p>In some packages on <a href="https://norden.social/tags/metacpan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metacpan</span></a> you can see what the minimum Perl version must be. Is this binding? Looks to me like most packages often support very low Perl versions. Understandable, if you want the package to work with very old<br>Perl versions, but surely this prevents new <a href="https://norden.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a> features from spreading very slowly?</p>
Felix 🇺🇦🚴♂️🇨🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰🇲🇽🇵🇦 🇪🇺<p>Hello <a href="https://norden.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a> community, how do you actually do that? For example, if you want to use the really new Perl features (e.g. classes) in your libraries and want to publish them on CPAN. Do you then not use such features? Or can I publish code for different Perl versions? It would be cool if there was something like a Perl transpiler (similar to the JS/typescript world) where you can transpile modern Perl to low level Perl. e.g. when you install a package for a specific <a href="https://norden.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a> version.</p>
