This one doesn't work... apparently the $^V is ignored (null) and
maybe %vd wasn't valid with 5.005's printf so it doesn't get to print
$] :-(
# /usr/bin/perl5.00503 -e 'printf "%vd (%f)\n", $^V, $];'
%vd (0.000000)

This last one works
# /usr/bin/perl5.00503 -e 'printf("This is Perl version %f (%vd)\n", $], $^V);'
This is Perl version 5.005030 (%vd)

# /usr/bin/perl -e 'printf("This is Perl version %f (%vd)\n", $], $^V);'
This is Perl version 5.006001 (5.6.1)

Seems like it'll do.
