It doesn't appear as though that functionality is available in either base or parent. Here's a potential q&d workaround that may be sufficient if it turns out what you're trying to do isn't possible inherently:

use warnings;
use strict;

use version;

BEGIN {
    use base 'Mock::Sub';
    my $v = version->parse($Mock::Sub::VERSION);
    if ($v < version->parse(1.07)){
        die "Version '$v' of Mock::Sub isn't 1.07 or greater";
    }
}

The output, first with version 1.06 of the distribution, then another run after updating the dist:

$ perl base.pl 
Version '1.06' of Mock::Sub isn't 1.07 or greater at base.pl line 10.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at base.pl line 12.
