I dunno, on Arch I've seen several times as Perl 5.x updates roll in, Perl scripts will break on stuff. Especially Perl 5.22 and 5.26.



That's because of binary API changes, and only affects Perl modules with C parts in them. Source compatibility has been preserved at least across the entire 5.x line.
