tenya has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have written several modules and put them in the same directory as my program, and I want my program to only use my latest module versions. From Perldoc it seemed that
 
use MYMOD 1.3 'my_sub';

[download]
would require $VERSION 1.3, but it still accepts $VERSION 1.2. How do I get my program to croak unless it finds 1.3?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Try 
    use MYMOD 1.3;
use MYMOD 'my_sub';

    Kindly read `perldoc -f use' so you can understand what use does. Also, only might be of interest to you.

    The most likely reason the version check magick is not working is because MYMOD does not inherit it's import method from EXPORTER.
