Our platform support policy states that we require "versions of
dependencies which are generally accepted as stable and supportable,
e.g., in line with the version used by other long-term-support
distributions".  Of Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, and SLES, the four most common
distributions that provide LTS versions, the version with mainstream
long-term security support with the oldest Perl is 5.26.0 in SLES 15.6.
This is a major upgrade, since Perl 5.8.1, according to the Perl
documentation, was released in September of 2003.  It brings a lot of
new features that we can choose to use, such as s///r to return the
modified string, the postderef functionality, and subroutine signatures,
although the latter was still considered experimental until 5.36.
This change was made with the following one-liner, which intentionally
excludes modifying the vendored modules we include to avoid conflicts:
    git grep -l 'use 5.008001' | grep -v 'LoadCPAN/' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/use 5.008001/require v5.26/'
Use require instead of use to avoid changing the behavior as the latter
enables features and the former does not.
