I am sure this discussion has happened in the past and in the archive
you could probably find what was suggested last time.
perl -MDBI\ 999
DBI version 999 required--this is only version 1.50.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Which is the same as writing
use DBI 999;
and perl will call DBI->VERSION(999);
