I had the same error today on Solaris 8. Firewalls prevented me reporting it. I'll show my ignorance here. Isn't it just a matter of ammending MakeMaker to require a certain version of version.pm or better? Or do we have some sort of circular dependancy problem?

I guess this is because version.pm wants to stringify '1.03' as '1.030' - but, apart from taking a quick look at 'perldoc version', I've done nothing to verify that "guess" :-) (Let me know if this warrants the writing of a bug report for EU::MM to rt.cpan.org - and I'll oblige.)
