This is a later thing for documentation purposes, but I know it's at least 5.20 since I'm using the subroutine signatures feature (see the CONVENTIONS section of Mojolicious::Guides), and could be as high as Perl 5.38.2 since that's what I'm using right now + I tend to use modern features (whatever is documented in the current version of perldoc on the web) incl., currently, experimental features (try, smartmatch)

try/catch was added in 5.34, see: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlexperiment

It also looks like try/catch is being made non-experimental in 5.40 (funnily enough, a version of Perl I don't even have installed right now), see: https://perldoc.perl.org/feature#The-'try'-feature

Use of finally is still experimental as of 5.40, but CharmBoard doesn't use finally anyways.

I don't think it makes much sense to limit to 5.40+ though considering try when it was in its experimental phase seems to still work the same now that its been made not-experimental in 5.40?

Oh yeah, and because of #15 and 1b179fb08d, the thing about smartmatch isn't relevant anymore. Regardless, it seems smartmatch was introduced before 5.34 anyways so it didn't do anything to change the min Perl version.
