use_ok with version number

Narveson has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I like starting a test script with

use_ok 'Acme::Stuff';

What if I want to make sure I'm testing a newer version? The client code will say

use Acme::Stuff '1.1.2';

but I can't seem to say

use_ok 'Acme::Stuff' '1.1.2';

I can write a second test, something like

cmp_ok $Acme::Stuff::VERSION, '>=', '1.1.2';

Anybody have better advice?

Update (Thanksgiving Day in U.S.A.):

Thanks for the replies, all of which are helpful.

On a side note, I also recommend reading Ovid's use_ok isn't ok.	[reply]

I think you just need to put a comma between module name and version: `use_ok 'Acme::Stuff', '1.1.2';` [download] (Unlike the regular `use` statement, `use_ok` is a subroutine call with arguments)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

regardless of comma, use_ok has a regex in code, that allows max one dot in version string. Also vstring is not supported by use_ok.	[reply]

Wow, this is good to know. I just tested your assertion, and it looks like you're right. When the actual version is '1.1.2', specifying version '2' fails as it should, but specifying version '1.1.3' succeeds. I suppose I ought to report this as a bug in Test::More.	[reply]

Perhaps you would like Test::use::ok. It allows you to: `use ok 'Acme::Stuff', '1.1.2';` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
