How does module versioning affect performance or memory usage?

Module versioning in Perl plays a crucial role in ensuring code compatibility, but it can also have implications on performance and memory usage. When multiple versions of a module are present, the overhead of version checks and the potential for loading unnecessary functionality can lead to increased memory consumption and slower execution times.

# Example of Perl module versioning
package MyModule;
use strict;
use warnings;
use version; our $VERSION = '1.00';

sub example_function {
    print "This is version $VERSION of MyModule.\n";
}

1; # Return true for the module to be loaded correctly.
