Darwin Perl version variable wrong?

[Daniel Lord]

Maybe it's in some release notes somewhere that I have missed, but has 
anyone noticed that the version variable is wrong?

i.e, running the following program gives 'version=5.006' instead of  the 
version shown by 'perl -v' , 'This is perl, v5.6.0 built for darwin' .

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "version=", $];
