Subject: Supports modern versions of Perl
Sex should issue a warning when running on any version of Perl newer than 5.005, as they have not yet reached the age of consent (in most jurisdictions).

Oh, that's beautiful! I will put Sex on Github now just so you can write that patch! For bonus points, it would calculate the current age of each version and release them to have Sex as they cross the age of consent. For maximum hilarity, use geoip to cross reference with the local age limits.

What gender is Perl? The age of consent varies by gender in several jurisdictions. Also, should we check the age of the user when warning (for jurisdictions where age of consent varies according to the age gap between the parties involved)?

Perl is whatever gender makes it easier for the user to get work done, so I suggest picking the gender less likely to allow the user to use Sex. -- rjbs

Perhaps for a future version. In the mean time, maybe an AGE_OF_CONSENT environment variable?

Of course, like all good problems, it needs its own module. We're off on the idea of writing Acme::Perl::Consensual. https://github.com/schwern/Acme-Perl-Consensual

Fork here: https://github.com/tobyink/p5-acme-perl-consensual ... contains a working implementation. Tested in Perl 5.8 and 5.16. Due to the nature of the module, it would be nice if it worked in some older versions of Perl too. Anybody have any pre-5.005 Perls they can test it on?

Since you've ran with it, I've deleted my empty repository. It's all yours now! I don't have a pre-5.005 handy, they don't compile so well on OS X. PS Make sure to turn your issues tab back on in the admin part of the project.

Acme-Perl-Consensual 0.000_01 is now on CPAN: https://metacpan.org/release/TOBYINK/Acme-Perl-Consensual-0.000_01 It is does well on CPAN Testers, then I'll release 0.001.
