Correct. MajorCool was 'ported' to Perl5 using 5.001, so anything past
that generation should be OK.

As for 4.036, beats me. Should work, since that is exactly what I ran
prior to Perl5 and I thought I kept backward compatibility. But I can't
argue unequivocally. Those quoted errors may be all the proof needed.
