Could you please skip this test if the version of perl is too old?

In particular, I get
[Sun Jun 17 17:28:11 2007] gitweb.perl: Too many arguments for Encode::decode_utf8 at ../../gitweb/gitweb.perl line 618, near "Encode::FB_CROAK)"
[Sun Jun 17 17:28:11 2007] gitweb.perl: Execution of ../../gitweb/gitweb.perl aborted due to compilation errors.

My Encode.pm has

----
sub decode_utf8($)
{
    my ($str) = @_;
    return undef unless utf8::decode($str);
    return $str;
}
----

Curiously, it also has

----
=item $string = decode_utf8($octets [, CHECK]);
 
equivalent to C<$string = decode("utf8", $octets [, CHECK])>.
The sequence of octets represented by
$octets is decoded from UTF-8 into a sequence of logical
characters. Not all sequences of octets form valid UTF-8 encodings, so
it is possible for this call to fail.  For CHECK, see
L</"Handling Malformed Data">.

In any case, I don't feel like upgrading perl just for gitweb
on this machine.
