Re^2: CoreList stuff

Funny, I've been having trouble getting the version number of the module in the above code. This works, but I have a feeling there's a better way:

use Carp;
my $module = "CGI";
eval "require $module";
if ($@) {
  carp "Problem with require of $module: $@";
} else {
 { no strict "refs";
  my $version = ${ $module. "::VERSION" };
  print "We have $module installed, version: $version\n";
 }
}
