Sorry to bring this up (again) but I am still wondering why version is
a pragma instead of a module.
The original goal was to make the simple act of writing:
$VERSION = 1.2.0;
create a version object. It turns out I can do that in bleadperl (since
I have access to the tokenizer there), but I have been unable to do that
via the CPAN compatibility module.
Within bleadperl, the version object code lives in util.c/universal.c
and is also used by Perl itself for $^V. I suppose it is version.pm and
not Version.pm for hysterical porpoises at this point, through I'd
prefer not to change it now...
