Git seems to generally work with Perl 5.6 after installing Scalar::Util
through CPAN. I'm happy with (sporadically) testing it with 5.6.2,
though I don't have any older version installed. Also, if at some point
Perl 5.6 compatibility gets in the way (due to lack of Unicode support),
we'll have to revisit this issue, but for now that should be fine.
Gitweb relies on Unicode support (e.g. "use Encode") and will continue
to be compatible with 5.8 and 5.10 only.
I'm not sure how much changes between Perl's micro versions. Should we
boldly claim "use 5.6.0" or only "use 5.6.2"? Are people still using
versions 5.6.0/1 at all? And for Gitweb, use 5.8.0, or use 5.8.8 (which
is the version I'm testing with, currently)? Or should I downgrade?
