This method will usually not get called. Quoting "perldoc -f use":

If the VERSION argument is present between Module and LIST, then the `use' will call the VERSION method in class Module with the given version as an argument. The default VERSION method, inherited from the UNIVERSAL class, croaks if the given version is larger than the value of the variable `$Module::VERSION'.
The Exporter::require_version is only a fall-back for mistakes like: use My::Module qw( 5.5 MyFunc ); which should really be written as: use My::Module 5.5 qw( MyFunc ); Note how the version number doesn't have a comma after it.

So you need to have your module do some "sub VERSION" if you want to subvert the &UNIVERSAL::VERSION version of the sub.
