The oldest vendor-shipped Perl in the buildfarm is 5.14.2, which isthe last version that Debian Wheezy shipped. That OS is EOL, but wekeep it running because there is no other convenient way to test certainnon-mainstream 32-bit platforms. There is no bugfix in the 5.14.2 releasethat is required, and yet it's also not the latest minor release --that would be 5.14.4. To clarify the situation, we have thus arranged thebuildfarm to test 5.14.0. That allows configure scripts and documentationto state 5.14 without fine print.The MSVC build didn't check the version, since our previous minimum 5.8.3was considered too old to check for on Windows. We will need a check forWindows sometime during the v16 cycle, but that could be rendered mootby the impending Meson conversion, so it seems safe to just documentthe requirement for now.Reviewed by Tom LaneDiscussion:https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20220902181553.ev4pgzhubhdkguuv@awork3.anarazel.de
