JIRA::REST now requires at least Perl 5.10. Previously it required Perl 5.8. A new section in the documentation explains our Perl and Jira compatibility Policy.
Fixes
William Carr fixed the sub_error routine teaching it yet another way Jira can pass error messages back.
Documentation
Lisa Hare graciously contributed some example scripts which can be found on the 'examples' directory.
All mentions of 'JIRA' were changed to 'Jira', following the change Atlassian made in all of its site and documentation.
