Done. Anything like -v or -V or --version or pretty much any variation on
the theme will make MailScanner print out its version number and the
version of each of the modules used by MailScanner. Here's a sample of the
output:

This is Perl version 5.008
This is MailScanner version 4.32.3
Module versions are:
1.00    AnyDBM_File
1.10    Archive::Zip
1.01    Carp
1.119   Convert::BinHex
1.00    DirHandle
1.04    Fcntl
2.71    File::Basename
2.05    File::Copy
2.01    FileHandle
1.05    File::Path
1.27    HTML::Entities
3.36    HTML::Parser
2.28    HTML::TokeParser
1.20    IO
1.09    IO::File
1.122   IO::Pipe
5.403   MIME::Decoder
5.403   MIME::Decoder::UU
5.403   MIME::Head
5.406   MIME::Parser
5.411   MIME::Tools
