in thread use base { MODULE = version}? (a change to base.pm)

I believe that it is simply a bug. I recall discussing this before but can't find a node on it. I think it is fixed in 5.6.1, but I don't have that handy either.

    I don't know if it is bug or feature :) but indeed Foo::Bar => 1 syntax seems to work in 5.6.1 but not in 5.005 (I haven't checked it on other versions).
