Try installing the current version of "version". It's at v0.68 right now. Get it here: version-0.68

To build it:

 perl Build.PL --perl_only
         ./Build
         ./Build test
         ./Build install
[download]

The use of perl Build.PL --perl_only is if you don't have a c compiler; but, if you do have a c compiler that you suspect isn't up to par, then I think it might help you to get it to install properly.
