Yeah, I would have to agree. Reading that again I think what it perhaps should
be saying is that 5.8.3 is the Perl API level that the testcode must conform
to, but they should run with basically whichever recent Perl you have handy as
long as the required modules are installed. Not that we expect developers to
run 5.8.3 when executing TAP tests.
