Aren't perl modules locked to the exact version they were compiled in ? I've met many time some error "haha nope, wrong version, perl 5.31.7 required"

- WesolyKubeczek 11mo agoPure perl modules are not, unless they use syntactic features that first appear in the newer versions. Modules with C extensions have to be recompiled with libperl they run against, as much as CPython extensions link to a particular libpython, and guess Ruby is the same. But they, with very few exceptions, will recompile and run fine. XS is cryptic but its backwards compatibility story is good.
