You'll see that the author of this module has incorrectly implemented the VERSION method as:sub VERSION { $VERSION }From perldoc UNIVERSAL:"VERSION ( [ REQUIRE ] )" "VERSION" will return the value of the variable $VERSION in the package the object is blessed into. If "REQUIRE" is given then it will do a comparison and die if the package version is not greater than or equal to "REQUIRE". "VERSION" can be called as either a class (static) method, an object method or a function. You should notify the module author to fix this (by removing his method)
Whoa, thats new :) I was always under the impression that sub VERSION could be specified in modules and was in fact encouraged (Don't ask me where I got that idea though ;p), but UNIVERSAL takes care of it for you in the same way import() is handled (IE I know I know *not* by UNIVERSAL, its the principle I'm comparing it to) if there is no explicit import() function?
I happen to know the author and he's pretty awesome about this sort of thing and will let him know so he can fix it :)
