[Mimedefang] 2.71 Pre-requisites perl version

[Paul Hirose]

The webpage http://www.mimedefang.org/faq says Perl pre-requisite version is 5.8.9.  The 2.71 tarball README file says Perl 5.001.

Similarly for the perl modules, the README file says
3) Required Perl modules:
        MIME::tools 5.413 or higher
        IO::stringy 1.212 or higher
        MIME::Base64 3.03 or higher  (See MIME-BASE64 NOTE for important info!)
        MailTools 1.1401  or higher
        Digest::SHA1 2.00 or higher

The FAQ says:
The following Perl modules:
    * MIME::tools 5.420 or higher
    * IO::Stringy 1.212 or higher
    * MIME::Base64 2.11 or higher
    * MailTools 1.1401 or higher
    * Digest::SHA1 2.00 or higher 


I was just wondering which was correct, especially the Perl version.  The RHEL5.5 Perl is 5.8.8 and I wanted to know if I had to go and build 5.8.9 or not.
Thank you,
PH
