Run-time equivalent of "use Module VERSION"?

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

Greetings Monks,

What is the best run-time equivalent of use Module VERSION? eval "use Module 1.23" works but it involves string eval. require Module; Module->import(1.23) doesn't work. require Module; Module->VERSION(1.23) works only for modules which install a VERSION() method.
