Better make that 5.006_001 if you don't want to require them to
have Perl 5.6.10.
If that doesn't make sense, please pay close attention to what's in
the 5.6.0 perldelta:
:To cope with the new versioning system's use of at least three significant
:digits for each version component, the method used for incrementing the
:subversion number has also changed slightly. We assume that versions older
:than v5.6.0 have been incrementing the subversion component in multiples of
:10. Versions after v5.6.0 will increment them by 1. Thus, using the new
:notation, 5.005_03 is the "same" as v5.5.30, and the first maintenance
:version following v5.6.0 will be v5.6.1 (which should be read as being
:equivalent to a floating point value of 5.006_001 in the older format,
:stored in C<$]>).
