Subject: docs: bump the minimum perl version to 5.6

docs: bump the minimum perl version to 5.6

It's actually been this way since at least 2012 (when a 3-argument open
was added to runtests.pl). Given the lack of complaints in the interim,
it's safe to call this 23 year old perl version the minimum.
