[Popcon-developers] Bug#218680: v-string in use/require non-portable

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.7
Severity: Minor

popularity-contest ensures a specific Perl version with the line
"use 5.6.0;". This generates a warning, as v-string syntax may not be
recognised by older Perl releases. "perldoc -f use" suggests
the equivalent "use 5.006_000;" instead.
