For Base packages, yes.  Otherwise it's a bit of a judgement call, but
I'd rather tie a package to the Perl version it was tested with (you can
always change the hint file later if you know it really doesn't need to
be repackaged after an update).  You can't generally know in advance if
that works or not with a later Perl version, especially now that there
is talk about a version 7 that will most likely deprecate a number of
features and make others the default.  Binary and feature compatibility
is only guaranteed within one major version.


Regards,
Achim.
