Maybe scope it with `use v5.10` or even `use v5.16`, and then just do that? Time to find a solution and end the pain (not to mention the arguments). I would support having "package NAME VERSION" automatically upgrade VERSION to a version object. I think right now it just puts it as a string in $NAME::VERSION. That syntax already requires a valid version string -- not "3.0crap" or anything like that. Eventually, when package NAME VERSION become the one true way to set $VERSION, everything will be a version object and these problems will go away. Just give it 10 years or so. -- David
