+C<UNIVERSAL::VERSION> now return whatever is in $VERSION, instead of
+returning $VERSION converted to a version object and then to a string.
+As a result, it no longer parses the version when called without arguments,
+so it no longer dies in that case for malformed versions. This allows
+custom version number parsers to use C<< ->VERSION >> to retrieve the
+version number, as was the case in Perl 5.8 [perl #95544].
