Subject: Requires Perl 5.16.1?
This is a great extension to Iterator::Simple and I'm really interested in using it, but CPANtesters seems to indicate that it will only build for Perl versions 5.16.1 and up. I can't seem to find anything in the Makefile or dependencies that requires that, though. Do you have any insight as to where that's coming from?

I can confirm that it builds and tests perfectly on 5.14. There's no good reason to set that to 5.16.1.

There are "use 5.016001;" statements in Makefile.PL and Lookahead.pm. Removing them, the tests pass on 5.10.1, 5.8.9, and 5.8.2. I can't try on 5.6.2 because Class::XSAccessor requires 5.8.0 or later. I don't know whether there is some other reason not to use it, but if there is it really ought to be captured in a test.

Ha, yeah, I figured that out as soon as I actually went to build it.

Fixed as suggested in version 0.06: Requirement for Perl 5.16.1 was not necessary, decreased to 5.8.0 (needed by Class::XSAccessor)
