Subject: MakeMaker: BEGIN { require $version } is pointless combined with 'use warnings'
Doing 'use warnings' (5.6 and above) implicitly makes the Makefile.PL only work in 5.6 and above. That means there isn't much point in doing BEGIN { require $version } to support <=5.5. Maybe 5.5 support should just be dropped.
not actually a bug, but point taken -- rjbs
