Document $OLD_PERL_VERSION's history
$OLD_PERL_VERSION was added commented-out in Perl 5.6.0, when $PERL_VERSION became $^V. It remained unimplemented and undocumented until it was added to perlvar.pod, in the deprecated section, in 5.13.10. It was then implemented in English.pm in 5.19.10, but remained undocumented until 5.22.0. (cherry picked from commit 83c1fffeadddac231b705fc8a420de87fd4f5ea3)
