Yes, but it would make the tests much longer, as the builtin sleep 
is a lot less reliable so we can't do a sleep(1). Normally, I would 
not think of making something this trivial in functionality a prerequisite, 
but Time::HiRes is a very, very standard module at this point, so 
I thought it worth the effort.

So we can use versions such as '2.18.1'. You know, like other projects 
do, such as Postgres, git, and Perl. Yeah, yeah, I know all about 
the workarounds, shortcomings, and debates regarding versioning in 
Perl. Discussion could make our Unicode thread look tame in 
comparison. :) Using version.pm is an easy way out of the mess. I'm 
open to arguments for not using it, but you better bring 
strong ones.
