Me too ... :)

Except I'm going to suggest a different variable name before people 
say $_VERSION isn't good.

$_RCS_ID perhaps?

$_VERSION could be reservered for the release number of your class 
(i.e. "this is the 2.0 version of my Crypt::CBC class").  In fact,
if we insist that people use this, it makes things like this easier
and standard across classes:

	<?php
	$foo = new MyPearClass;
	if ($foo->_VERSION < 2.0) {
		die ("This script requires MyPearClass 2.0 or higher.");
	}
	...
	?>
