I have just reread perlmod and perlmodlib. It looks like they both
need a decent amount of work to bring them in line with the new
package syntax. For instance,
Give the module a version/issue/release number.
To be fully compatible with the Exporter and MakeMaker modules
you should store your module’s version number in a non‐my
package variable called $VERSION. This should be a floating
point number with at least two digits after the decimal (i.e.,
hundredths, e.g, "$VERSION = "0.01""). Don’t use a "1.3.2"
style version. See Exporter for details.
Should probably be changed to refer to the second package argument
with a caveat about possibly needing $VERSION to satisfy old static
analysis code.
