-	    Perl_croak(aTHX_ "%s version %s required--this is only version %s",
-		HvNAME(pkg), SvPV(req,PL_na), SvPV(sv,PL_na));
+	    Perl_croak(aTHX_ "%s version %_ required--this is only version %_",
+		HvNAME(pkg), req, sv);

What is %_ ???  Does that force a stringification like SvPV does?  I originally 
had SvPV_nolen, but that isn't supported in Perl < 5.6.0 so I reverted to what 
you see above.
