Description

According to BUILD.md, the supported Perl version seems to be 5.24.1+, while Avro.pm says 5.8.1+.

BUILD.md

The following packages must be installed before Avro can be built:

(snip)

 - Perl: Perl 5.24.1 or greater, gmake, Module::Install,

lang/perl/lib/Avro.pm

use 5.008_001;

Which version is the right one? If the former is, we should simply update Avro.pm too.
If the latter is, we should update BUILD.md and Dockerfile to use Perl 5.8.1 for building and testing.
