We C<require> *after* we have checked $VERSION. We do not C<require>
if $VERSION exists. This is quite a bit less disturbing than trying
and retrying to load a package that we do not miss.

Maybe I'm missing something in which case I'd ask for code to beat on.

In any case, this needs to work:

package Foo;package Bar;use base "Foo";
