?S:xs_apiversion:
?S:	This variable contains the version of the oldest perl binary
?S:	compatible with the present perl.  perl.c:incpush() and
?S:	lib/lib.pm will automatically search in $sitearch for older
?S:	directories across major versions back to xs_apiversion.
?S:	This is only useful if you have a perl library directory tree
?S:	structured like the default one.
?S:	See INSTALL for how this works.
?S:	The versioned site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005,
?S:	so that is the lowest possible value.
?S:	Since this can depend on compile time options
?S:	it is set by Configure.  Other non-default sources
?S:	of potential incompatibility, such as multiplicity, threads,
?S:	debugging, 64bits, sfio, etc., are not checked for currently,
?S:	though in principle we could go snooping around in old
?S:	Config.pm files.

?S:pm_apiversion:
?S:	This variable contains the version of the oldest perl
?S:	compatible with the present perl.  (That is, pure perl modules
?S:	written for $pm_apiversion will still work for the current
?S:	version).  perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
?S:	search in $sitelib for older directories across major versions
?S:	back to pm_apiversion.  This is only useful if you have a perl
?S:	library directory tree structured like the default one.  The
?S:	versioned site_perl library was introduced in 5.005, so that's
?S:	the default setting for this variable.  It's hard to imagine
?S:	it changing before Perl6.  It is included here for symmetry
?S:	with xs_apiveprsion -- the searching algorithms will
?S:	(presumably) be similar.
?S:	See the INSTALL file for how this works.
