(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.)
