It doesn't appear as though that functionality is available in either base or parent. Here's a potential q&d workaround that may be sufficient if it turns out what you're trying to do isn't possible inherently:

use warnings;
use strict;

use version;

BEGIN {
    use base 'Mock::Sub';
    my $v = version->parse($Mock::Sub::VERSION);
    if ($v < version->parse(1.07)){
        die "Version '$v' of Mock::Sub isn't 1.07 or greater";
    }
}

The output, first with version 1.06 of the distribution, then another run after updating the dist:

$ perl base.pl 
Version '1.06' of Mock::Sub isn't 1.07 or greater at base.pl line 10.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at base.pl line 12.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
