What's a good policy for setting $VERSION in the non-"main" modules of
a distribution?
e.g. I've got Server-Control-0.08, and Server::Control contains
our $VERSION = '0.08';
but none of the other modules in the distribution (e.g.
Server::Control::Apache) contain a $VERSION. I can see at least three
possibilities:
1) Don't bother putting $VERSION anywhere except the main module
2) Put a different $VERSION in each module, depending on when that
module itself changes
3) Put the same $VERSION in each module, matching the distribution and
the main module
1 clearly wins for laziness - is there a reason to do more? If so,
pros/cons to 2 vs 3?
Thanks
Jon
