Yes. Specifically, 5.8.anything or 5.6.anything.

The latter. FWIW, I have 5.8.8.820.
Alternatively, you can get it to accept 5.10 by inserting these lines
into the BAT file ahead of the line starting "perl -e":
set _haveperl58=1
goto ccp
This bypasses the test. I have no idea what will happen later on if 5.10
proves incompatible: you're on your own.
It would probably be more helpful if the error message from the BAT file
were to mention the currently-acceptable version(s) of Perl.
