[Koha-devel] Perl version requirement

[Julian Maurice]

Ah yes, I forgot about Xenial.

Not sure if it is still supported. The thing is, depending on where you 
look, you find different informations:

In the latest release notes:

- 20.05.01 says that the recommended environments are Debian stretch, 
Debian buster or Ubuntu bionic, and requires Perl 5.10
- 19.11.07 says that the recommended environments are Debian jessie, 
Debian stretch, Debian buster or Ubuntu bionic and requires Perl 5.10
- 19.05.12 says the the recommended environements are Debian stretch or 
Ubuntu bionic, and requires Perl 5.24 (it's strange that an older 
version of Koha require a newer version of Perl)

On Jenkins, there is a "supported" tab that includes Ubuntu xenial, 
bionic and focal, and Debian jessie, stretch and buster.

So it is not very clear.
Maybe we can include that information in Koha's source (in README ?) and 
make it the "single source of truth" ?
