G'day ikegami,

Thanks for the feedback.

It does also talk about no ARGUMENTS but, you are correct, ARGUMENTS being an empty list is not mentioned.

The BUGS section already says it doesn't handle VERSION. I was going to suggest adding "empty list" to that.

"At a minimum, provide a recommended alternative."

In my OP, I proposed a workaround along the lines of: 

BEGIN { require MODULE if CONDITION }

I'll assume that's adequate; however, if you had something more substantial in mind, please advise. Thanks.
