I ran into this a week or so ago... this is what I *think* happened:
* I built/updated version using the system-installed Perl
* I tried to use it from a second perl interpreter on the same system
* Second perl was no binary compatible (in this case, non-threaded vs.
threaded)
* As such, version.pm loaded but could not load the XS portion
* Attempt to fall back on version/vpp.pm (pure-perl implementation)
* This isn't installed unless you explicitly instruct Makefile.PL to do so
when building version
* Failure

At the time, I didn't realize that there were competing architectures (I
thought the only difference in the second interpreter was some added-in path
to @INC). So I got around it by re-building version and telling Makefile.PL
to build/install the pure-perl code.
