It has always been decreed that the $VERSION line ***must*** be
written in a single self-containing line. You need to change your
$VERSION line.

If 6.03 parses this right, it was a bug in MM 6.03.

Andreas, this is not the $VERSION line that I'm talking about. This is some code that checks the version of a different module:

unless ($File::Spec::VERSION >= $min_version) {

I beg your pardon, but I can't see what this has to do with the $VERSION line.
