+ modules in a directory with the PERL_APIVERSION version number.
+ Normally this should not change across maintenance releases.
+ perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically search older
+ directories across major versions back to to PERL_XS_APIVERSION
+ for XS modules and back to PERL_PM_APIVERSION for pure PERL modules.
+ (Since the versioned directory layout didn't start until 5.005,
+ that's the earliest these can go back.

+ See INSTALL for how this works.
