For a quick check I tend to do:
$ perl -MWASH::Sucks=9999
WASH::Sucks 9999 required--this is only version 1.44 (/path/to/WASH/Sucks.pm) at -
line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
It's quick and shows the installed path as well.
You can also do:
$ perl -MWASH::Sucks -e 'die $WASH::Sucks::VERSION'
or
$ perl -MWASH::Sucks -e 'die WASH::Sucks->VERSION'
