It's a known feature. :-) As seen at http://perldoc.perl.org/perldata.html : Version Strings (v-strings) have been deprecated. They will not be available after Perl 5.8. The marginal benefits of v-strings were greatly outweighed by the potential for Surprise and Confusion. It's another one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time, until the Surprise and Confusion. You may have some modules installed which use v-strings; if so you can check whether an upgrade is available on CPAN. (I don't know about Class::Std in particular.) Else you could try to fix the source yourself, by changing the v-string syntax to ordinary string syntax. But if you do that, be sure to send the patch to whoever maintains that code; they'll appreciate it.
