I was unclear. What I am talking about is that there is no
provision to have Foo::Bar 0.11, Foo::Bar 0.42 and Foo::Bar 1.23
all available in the same installation of Perl. There are some
modules like only.pm that impose their own conventions to allow
this, but vanilla Perl does not account for such a situation.
