Subject: Invalid XML::Merge::VERSION causes build failures since ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.06
$XML::Merge::VERSION 1.2.565EgGd in invalid version value. For example if XML::Merge is listed in requirements of distribution Makefile.PL, building the distribution fails with ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.06 when it checks version of installed XML::Merge.
