Tom Lane dea6ba939f Doc: specify that the minimum supported version of Perl is 5.8.3. 
Previously the docs just said "5.8 or later".  Experimentation shows
that while you can build on Unix from a git checkout with 5.8.0,
compiling recent PL/Perl requires at least 5.8.1, and you won't be
able to run the TAP tests with less than 5.8.3 because that's when
they added "prove".  (I do not have any information on just what the
MSVC build scripts require.)

Since all these versions are quite ancient, let's not split hairs
in the docs, but just say that 5.8.3 is the minimum requirement.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
