Bug #122713 for Error:

Fri Aug 04 16:52:11 2017 wolfsage [...] gmail.com - Ticket created

"use Error::Simple" overwrites calling package's $VERSION. Error/Simple.pm doesn't define a package but sets $VERSION using "use vars ($VERSION)" which overwrites the calling package's version! mhorsfall@tworivers:~$ perl -e 'use parent qw(Error::Simple); use parent 23423432' parent version 23423432 required--this is only version 0.17024 at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. mhorsfall@tworivers:~$ perl -e 'use parent 2342' parent version 2342 required--this is only version 0.232 at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. -- Matthew Horsfall (alh)

Thanks for the report - this should be fixed in 0.17025 which was released a while ago. Resolving as fixed.
