I have intentionally put version strings in the output, especially of
of related modules. For example, DBD::Pg spits out what version of
PostgreSQL is being tested against.
This is helpful for processing bug reports, so I don't have to make
second trip back to the user to ask: "What version of CGI.pm where you using?".
Etc.
Without being explicit, the user might think they have version 1.1 of
the distribution.

I don't think that's necessary.
