Yes.

Well, we use CMake's FindPerl.cmake, which does not check Perl's version
at all. If that's really needed, we could add a FindPerl.cmake to
kdelibs, but the kde-buildsystem mailing list is a better place to
discuss that.

As for backporting, my opinion is that if we did not previously state a
minimum dependency version before we are not really breaking any
dependency version promise (other release-team members might disagree).
