Hi John,
Is the Scalar::Util dependency justified? 'yes' is a fine answer, I'm
just not certain what it's compatibility is.

Taking advantage of $_[1] being an alias to $VERSION in import() seems a
little sneaky, and possibly fragile. Does the '$VERSION => 1.2.0'
syntax work with PAUSE/etc?
What about
use version $VERSION = 1.2.0;
$_[0] = version->new($_[0]); ?
