This implies to me "if you need at least Perl 5.8.4, then say so with 
C<use 5.8.4;> rather than C<require 5.8.4;>" (or possible C<use 
5.008_04;> for backwards compatibility).

Yet here you use C<require>. Which is it to be? Or did I misunderstand 
"Specify Perl version requirements with C<use>"? Does it, perhaps, 
simply mean "Specify Perl version requirements", and the "with C<use>" 
is only an example of one way to do so?

Cheers,
Philip
