I would suggest that you bump the version number of version to 1.00 so
that becomes the recommended minimal number instead of an arbitrary

use version 1.00; $our $VERSION = qw("v1.2.3");
You do know that the above doesn't actually do anything? Or did you
mean qv() instead of qw()?
This still confuses me as I think that:
use version 1.00;
ought to be handy way to declare your own
$VERSION, not about requesting a specific version of version.
That was [briefly] considered but was judged to be "too magical" because
1) There is no package global $VERSION visible in the source;
2) Module::Build and EU::MM would have to be upgraded in order to
understand that they can't just scan the source file any more to get the
$VERSION.
