I’m using Term::ANSIColor in my Perl script to do colorization of terminal output, and I am using the colorstrip function, which was only added in Term::ANSIColor version 2.01, according to the changelog. So, is there a way to make my script automatically die with an appropriate error message if it doesn’t find at least that version of Term::ANSIcolor?

    Just:

    use Term::ANSIColor 2.01;

    See perldoc -f use:

    use Module VERSION LIST

    If the VERSION argument is present between Module and LIST, then the use will call the VERSION method in class Module with the given version as an argument. The default VERSION method, inherited from the UNIVERSAL class, croaks if the given version is larger than the value of the variable $Module::VERSION .
