More generically, `Foo->VERSION`, and if you use `-l` you can get
rid of some line noise:

    perl -MCatalyst -le'print Catalyst->VERSION'

Not that it matters much in this particular case.

(I’ve often though it would be nice if perl had a switch like
`-n`/`-p` that wrapped the code in `print do { ... };`… it would
be very handy for using perl as a cmdline calculator too.)
