And it may actually be discussed in "Programming Perl" (which I can't 
put my hand on at this precise moment).

It has also been a documented behavior of version objects for more than 
6 years now.  I realize that it is only relatively recently (two years 
since 5.10.0) that version.pm has been in the core, but this is the very 
first time that I am aware of that someone has fallen afoul of it.

ActiveState is apparently shipping a non-official package.  Any time you 
think you are doing something "clever" the odds are that you are 
actually being stupid instead.  This definitely falls into that category...
