Yeah, that is our stated requirement, and we do have buildfarm members
checking it on the Unix side (eg prairiedog runs 5.8.6). I don't know
if anyone is checking the MSVC-build scripts against an old Perl,
though ... it seems possible that some more-recent constructs have
crept into that pile of perl code without anyone noticing.
