Enhancement request: versions for perl bindings

Looking at the Perl bindings at 
http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/, 
I'm surprised to find that none of the Perl modules appears to have any 
version information, either in the Perldoc or as a VERSION method.

I would like to argue for including a VERSION method, to return the 
version of Subversion, in case my scripts know that they need a certain 
version.

It would also be useful when looking at the Perldoc: we have Svn 
installed on several servers, and they will not always be at the same 
version. I may look at perldoc in any convenient terminal window, so it 
would be useful to be able to see the version there.
