 PERL VERSION SUPPORT
-    This code requires Perl 5.10 or greater. Older versions of Perl are not
-    supported.
+    MaxMind has tested this API with Perl 5.8.8 and above. Reasonable
+    patches for earlier versions of Perl 5.8 will be applied. We will not
+    accept patches to support any version of Perl before 5.8.
+
+    The data returned from the GeoIP2 web services includes Unicode
+    characters in several languages. This may expose bugs in earlier
+    versions of Perl. If Unicode support is important to you, we recommend
+    that you use the most recent version of Perl available.
