But this will not execute until after any 'use' statements in the

requires a
perl version.
Good point.
What is the reason for saying require? If there is one, we need a
begin
block, right?
Yeah. I guess it was require() because we wanted to have a nice
error message even for perl4? That hardly seems like an important
use case anymore though.
