I said that $^V and $] would produce *equivalent* version objects, but that
isn't the same thing as saying they are the same.  $^V is an extended version
object, i.e. v5.9.3,  which compares identically to $], which is a floating
point version, i.e. 5.009003.  If you use $] everywhere, you lose the formatting
as an extended version gives you...
