    Doc: specify that the minimum supported version of Perl is 5.8.3. · dea6ba93
    Tom Lane authored
    Previously the docs just said "5.8 or later".  Experimentation shows
    that while you can build on Unix from a git checkout with 5.8.0,
    compiling recent PL/Perl requires at least 5.8.1, and you won't be
    able to run the TAP tests with less than 5.8.3 because that's when
    they added "prove".  (I do not have any information on just what the
    MSVC build scripts require.)
    
    Since all these versions are quite ancient, let's not split hairs
    in the docs, but just say that 5.8.3 is the minimum requirement.
