in reply to help with versioning modules

For your issue with "Numbered version directories", I was able to get it to "work" by :

* mkdir My/1.2
* Move Foo.pm to My/1.2/
* Change the internal $VERSION to 1.2
* change the "use" declarations in foo_version_test.pl to: 

use lib 'My/1.2';
use Foo 1.2;

Notice that the folder name goes into the "use lib", and avoids issues with bareword requirements for the module name.

    Also, to prevent duplication, note that both the path in "use lib" and the module version in "use Foo" can contain variables, but you need to populate them in the compile time. 
    my $required_version;
BEGIN {
    $required_version = '1.2';
}
use lib "My/$required_version";
use Foo $required_version;

    Thanks, that should probably work for my case.
