(Perl 5.26, not 5.6.26, is what was meant there; see
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=13f00eb4493c217269b76614759e452d8302955e>.
I remember well, as I once chased down that patch...)

ACK.

..., but not removed the Perl "5.6.25" 5.26 requirement.  OK to push the
attached "Back to requiring "Perl version 5.6.1 (or later)" [PR82856]"?
(Later then to be backported to all relevant release branches, too.)

Subject: [PATCH] Back to requiring "Perl version 5.6.1 (or later)" [PR82856]

With Subversion r265695 (Git commit 22e052725189a472e4e86ebb6595278a49f4bcdd)
"Update GCC to autoconf 2.69, automake 1.15.1 (PR bootstrap/82856)" we're back
to normal; per Automake 1.15.1 'configure.ac' still "[...] perl 5.6 or better
is required [...]".

	PR bootstrap/82856
	gcc/
	* doc/install.texi (Perl): Back to requiring "Perl version 5.6.1 (or
	later)".
