It should be sufficient to do:
use mod_perl;
BEGIN { die "horribly" if $mod_perl::VERSION >= 2 }
It's very handy to remember that 'use' is just 'require' and 'import' in
a 'BEGIN' block.
That said, it seems like it should be easy to implement the construct
you originally wanted, and it would be generally useful.
