Hello Randy,
yes, "require 5.6.0" is there, but this is only a run-time check. "use
bytes" is executed in compile time, and thus before the version check.
Nevertheless, it should be spelled "require 5.006", because "require
5.6.0" is invalid syntax in perls before 5.6.0:
$ perl5.00505 -e 'require 5.6.0'
Can't locate 5.60 in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/perl5.005_05/lib/5.00505/amd64-freebsd /usr/perl5.005_05/lib/5.00505
/usr/perl5.005_05/lib/site_perl/5.005/amd64-freebsd
/usr/perl5.005_05/lib/site_perl/5.005 .) at -e line 1.
Also, to make your module CPAN testers friendly, you should put the
version check into Makefile.PL. Please read

for more information.

Slaven
