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...
