Your suggestions were incorporated in if_perl.xs, but older
versions of perl define
#define ACTIVEPERL_VERSION "Built " __DATE__ " " __TIME__
and compilers complain about the test to compare
ACTIVEPERL_VERSION with a number.
One would use eq in perl, but this is C pre-processing -- how
could one check if ACTIVEPERL_VERSION >= 822?
