So, uh... we have dist_version_from and module_name, but neither of
those corresponds to the package which has the $VERSION we're looking
for?
Is that actually a valid use case? If so, we had zero test coverage for
it.
I see: ModuleInfo.pm has the comment 'punt', where it sets 'module' to
the first package from the file. IMO that should have been die().
The point of passing the module iff it is defined was to allow for the
script-only dist thing that I was working on (where I was getting
blocked by the DWSM logic of "main:: overrides everything if not in
a .pm"). I suppose that means my usage (if I can ever even get pause
to play along) will just have to add to the baroqueness.
