Under the hood, it will use the real C module when available, or install and use an emulation compatible with Perl 5.000. Therefore, C should do the right thing on every Perl version. If you want this module to be automatically installed by the CPAN shell on old Perls, simply add it to the prerequisites list in your F: PREREQ_PM => { "warnings::compat" => 0, } Note that only the files needed for your version of Perl will be installed (i.e., it won't install or overwrite the emulation modules on Perl 5.6 and later). If you prefer to install it only on modern Perls, you can use this variant: # on pre-5.6 Perls, add warnings::compat to the prereq modules push @extra_prereqs, "warnings::compat" if $] < 5.006; WriteMakefile( ... PREREQ_PM => { ... @extra_prereqs, }, ); =head1 AUTHOR SEbastien Aperghis-Tramoni, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
