+/* The following numbers describe the earliest compatible version of
+ Perl ("compatibility" here being defined as sufficient binary/API
+ compatibility to run XS code built with the older version).
Normally this should not change across maintenance releases.
- perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically search older
- directories across major versions back to to PERL_XS_APIVERSION
- for XS modules and back to PERL_PM_APIVERSION for pure PERL modules.
- (Since the versioned directory layout didn't start until 5.005,
- that's the earliest these can go back.
- See INSTALL for how this works.
+ Note that this only refers to an out-of-the-box build. Many non-default
+ options such as usemultiplicity tend to break binary compatibility
+ more often.
+
+ This is used by Configure et al to figure out
+ PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST, which lists version libraries
+ to include in @INC. See INSTALL for how this works.
