Hi, Avik. :) To add to Dave's response, the Perl 5 policy document[1] notes our support policy for Perl 5. It states that we "support the two most recent stable release series". Perl 5.24 is the latest stable version, which means we will extend support to fix failures (and help resolve issues) on 5.24 and 5.22. While we try to help out with older versions (and might release an older version with important fixes), our resources are limited and we focus our efforts on recent versions as much as possible. Thank you for understanding, and I hope you find it possible and simple to upgrade your Perl 5 version to a more up-to-date and supported version, per Dave's recommendations. All the best, Sawyer.
