But that will not be useful once 5.1 comes out, which could certainly
happen during perl-5.6.0's lifetime.
Quoting hints/README.txt:
If you need to test for specific minor version differences in your
hints file, be sure to include a default choice. (See aix.sh for one
example.) That way, if you write a hint file for foonix 3.2, it might
still work without any changes when foonix 3.3 is released.
That is, do something like
case "$osvers" in
[0-2]*) # do nothing
;;
*) # Known to work at least from 3.0 - 5.0
# do whatever needs to be done.
