In some packages on you can see what the minimum Perl version must be. Is this binding? Looks to me like most packages often support very low Perl versions. Understandable, if you want the package to work with very old
Perl versions, but surely this prevents new features from spreading very slowly?

@ChristosArgyrop @Perl I don’t think it searched #CPAN or #MetaCPAN, because “BinaryTree” doesn’t exist there. It’s merely suggesting a package name.

If it actually searched CPAN it would tell you about something like metacpan.org/pod/Tree::Binary

And if it were truly CPAN-aware it would tell you to name your package Local::BinaryTree so you don’t get surprised later when another #Perl package from outside preempts your name: pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACT
