You should probably use -mModule to avoid calling Module::import(). (also, in some pathological cases, one can imagine that UNIVERSAL::VERSION() has been overidden) Side note: Abe Timmerman has a module, V, useful to get versions of installed modules: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2006-03/msg01038.html
