Subject: feature request: a mechanism to exempt snippets of code from a check
Moose documents its minimum version as perl 5.8.3 and strives to not exceed that. Moose::Util::TypeConstraints (line 623 currently) has some conditional code that uses 5.10+ regex syntax if we are running on 5.10+, but falls back to a 5.8-compliant version otherwise. It would be nice if we could mark the 5.10-requiring section of code as "do not check this for minimum version", so we can still use the [MinimumPerl] or [Test::MinimumVersion] dzil plugins for Moose development and not get a false negative on this code.

YES! I just stumbled on a similar problem with Template Toolkit (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=102391) where the explicit version is 5.6 but there is a 5.8+ binmode call that only happens on 5.8+. Devel::Cover offers a similar construct for exemptions, we could use something like: binmode $fh, ':utf8'; # no perlver and it would skip that line for the check. Or even something like: binmode $fh, ':utf8'; # perlver 5.8 and it would check against the specified version (and up). How does it look?
