Also note that use v5.10; == use 5.10.0; == 5.010;. But use 5.10; == use 5.100;. Which, IMO, is not very DWIM.
An unfortunate side-effect of having two similar but very different numbering systems. At least the error message is useful.
$ perl -e'use 5.10;'
Perl v5.100.0 required (did you mean v5.10.0?)--this is only v5.12.2,
+stopped at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
I don't know whether there's a (single-line) syntax that at compile time checks for 5.10, but which doesn't enable features.
$ perl -M5.014 -e1
Perl v5.14.0 required--this is only v5.12.2, stopped.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
