For features that already existed in 3.3 I believe the requirement
for version of perl has not changed, should work with 5.8.2 or later,
possibly even with 5.8.0 (perhaps with some Unicode-related problems).

If you need IPv6 support, the minimal useful version of perl
would be 5.14, which brought Socket::getaddrinfo and friends in its
Socket module. Perl 5.16 or 5.18 are the recommended version for
IPv6 support. If given a choice, I'd go with 5.16 or 5.18 anyway.
