in reply to CPAN module versioning/backwards compatibility

Don't go checking caller, it's a sure way to make this stuff even harder to maintain, and will eventually lead to code that lies to itself because it wants to trick the caller check that you now consider installing.

Forking the module and redistributing it under a different name seems like the cleanest solution to me.
