[Bloomington-normal-pm] Another way to get readable version from $^V

Found this in perldoc perldelta:

     Also, "sprintf" and "printf" support the Perl-specific
     format flag "%v" to print ordinals of characters in
     arbitrary strings:

         printf "v%vd", $^V;         # prints current version, such as
"v5.5.650"

This is probably faster than the method I previously posted.
