&Module::VERSION is documented under require and I'm not much into duplicating documentation. A simple remention of it probably wouldn't hurt, though.

Update: Er. Rather, &Module::VERSION should be documented under require instead of under use (as it was in 5.6.0 -- I haven't upgraded to 5.6.1 yet) and the use documentation should point to the require documentation, at least, IMHO ("H" stands for "hubristic", don't ya know?).

Correct, v-strings were added at 5.6.0. I think the biggest changes to them between 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 was that someone settled on a name for them. (: There were some bug fixes having to do with Unicodish stuff that doesn't much matter in this context.

No, the "require Module VERSION LIST" does not require a v-string literal. With 5.6.0 it, of course, had to support v-string literals. But it does now and always will (I bet) support simple numeric literals. (I encourage you to reread some of this and the related thread.)
