[Catalyst] Simple question about "use Catalyst"

[David Schmidt]

My guess, it makes sure you run at least v5.80 possibly because older
versions are not supported anymore. I am sure someone will correct me
if I am wrong.

http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/use.html

"If the VERSION argument is present between Module and LIST, then the
use will call the VERSION method in class Module with the given
version as an argument. The default VERSION method, inherited from the
UNIVERSAL class, croaks if the given version is larger than the value
of the variable $Module::VERSION"
