Steve,
The error is that you don't have the required module "version" installed
(ie, running "perl -e 'use version;'" would fail). Yes, the error is
confusing since "version" is such a generic name.
You can use CPAN (or your linux installer if that's what you normally use)
to install it:
sudo cpan
install version
