I came across the new Perl 5.10 // defined-or operator in Koha code. (See below) The INSTALL doc says that we still run under Perl 5.8.8. Should we still refrain from using it?
It's not very clear, but http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html seems to say that 5.8 is still supported. So I'd say we remain compatible with that for 3.4, but I feel this is the Release Manager's decision. Current stable releases (3.0 and 3.2) should definitely keep working on 5.8.8. It would be very nasty for a library to do a small version upgrade and discover they need to upgrade perl!
