On that note, I use CVS for maintaining module versions, and I like
using the 'version' pragma when importing to make sure the right
version has arrived.
If there is *NO* version, then that is a problem, and an AUTOLOAD, or
overload (overlord?) function would track it down and pull it out of
CVS as required.
If only...
How do I overload the 'require' and 'use' to make sure I can supply
a 'last resort' action before file not found?
