The oldest perl versions I see in the buildfarm are
longfin | 2025-02-12 14:42:03 | configure: using perl 5.14.0

urocryon | 2025-02-12 02:07:16 | configure: using perl 5.24.1
(This scan did not account for meson-using animals, which I'm assuming
are generally newer.)
longfin is my own animal and is intentionally set up with the oldest
supported Perl version; I'd have no problem moving it to another
version if we decide to move that goalpost. lapwing I believe we've
already nagged the owner of to update (its flex is museum-grade too).
But it looks like moving past 5.16 would be more problematic.
