I'm still not sure I know, but I learned a lot from
these articles:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1878108/whats-the-modern-way-of-declaring-which-version-of-perl-to-use

https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/use.html

Maybe the 2nd one describes what it does.

I've seen code that has "use 5.008_004;" in the files. Yet the code also uses tools like Build.PL that came after Perl 5.008. What does the "use $perl_version" actually affect?

Thanks!
