The suggestion was meant to improve readability and I still think it  
does.  It's now much easier to see that the purpose of this piece of  
code is to set the value of $VERSION.  We obviously disagree about  
what makes code readable.

Alternative:

    our $VERSION = do { use version 1.00; version->declare("v1.2.3") };
