perldoc perlvar says:
The revision, version, and subversion of the Perl interpreter, represented as a "version" object.
This variable first appeared in perl 5.6.0; earlier versions of perl will see an undefined value. Before perl
5.10.0$^V was represented as a v-string.
I'm quite sure David isn't running on something older than 5.10.0.
