Re: How to handle Cross-platform Perl, modules, and versioning

@ENV? What's that array going to do?

Also, there's no point in making a BEGIN block that contains just a lone use statement. A use statement is already executed as soon as it's compiled - putting a BEGIN around it isn't going to speed it up - it won't execute it before it's compiled.
