Subject: "use Cairo $VERSION" does not work
See subject. The usual perl way to force a minimum module version does not work here: $ perl5.12.3 -e 'use Cairo 1;' Usage: Cairo::VERSION(class=NULL) at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. $ perl5.12.3 -e 'use Cairo 9999;' Usage: Cairo::VERSION(class=NULL) at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. Problem seems to me that Cairo's VERSION method is not compatible with the UNIVERSAL::VERSION method, which is usually used to determine the minimum version. Regards, Slaven

Indeed. I did not know that a VERSION sub is supposed to have special semantics. Problem now fixed on master: <http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Cairo/commit/?id=f4ea540acbfb5bea6e6adf39238dcf5418eb5c9b>. Thanks for the report.
