As that subroutine is only called in one place, its the very first thing in
WriteMakefile() even before a MakeMaker object is created, I can say its fairly
impossible to get that from a $VERSION declaration.
What probably happened is this:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use version;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => "Foo",
VERSION => qv(2.0.0),
);
If the _verify_att() code is going to start working with objects then the code
has to
A) Start using ->isa().
B) Stop doing the reference check case insensitively.
