gherkin-perl: Gherkin uses feature from perl5.12 but only requires perl5.10.1

Summary

When running gherkin on perl 5.10.1 (the minimum supported version), the "..." lines in Gherkin::Pickles::Compiler cause a syntax error, perl minimum version should be increased or '...' feature not used

Expected Behavior

'gherkin' command should parse and run and return ndjson formatted messages

Current Behavior

gherkin command fails with syntax error

$ gherkin
syntax error at /home/gherkin/perl5/lib/perl5/Gherkin/Pickles/Compiler.pm line 35, near "..."
syntax error at /home/gherkin/perl5/lib/perl5/Gherkin/Pickles/Compiler.pm line 171, near "..."
Compilation failed in require at /home/gherkin/perl5/lib/perl5/Gherkin.pm line 9.

Possible Solution

One of

• Gherkin module should have 5.12 as the minimum version, and not be installable on 5.10.1, or
• Gherkin::Pickles::Compiler should use 'die "Unimplemented";' instead of '...', making it 5.10.1 compatible

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. perlbrew use 5.10.1
2. cpanm Gherkin
3. gherkin

Context & Motivation

Trying to use Gherkin to parse files on an old system (Centos 6, Perl 5.10.1)

Thanks for the report! We'll get this fixed (back to 5.10.1) and organize a release.
