Using a base module with a required version

[talexb]

I'm updating a module Juliet that's the base for another module November. So in November, I have

  use base Juliet;

Since I'm updating Juliet, I'm going to add a $VERSION so that we can start requiring certain versions of modules going forward. But I'm uncertain about how to add a version requirement to the use base statement. Just putting

  use base Juliet 1.1;

produces a 'Number found where operator expected ..' error when I compile.

So I guess the question is, how do I combine a version requirement with a use base statement?
