I'd rather use something that will always work:
$] < 5.008
I'm not sure v-objects work everywhere (I could be wrong).
Yes, this is the preferred code for all versions of Perl; $^V was introduced with 5.6.0 and mostly works as planned. In bleadperl, $^V is a full fledged version object, so the comparisons are a little cleaner.
