Not necessarily. If you maintain a version number for the dist which applies also to all the modules then you can pick one master module which all the others use and have them set their versions from that one. eg.

package Foo;
our $VERSION = '1.01';

# ...

package Foo::Bar;
use Foo;
our $VERSION = $Foo::VERSION;

I never bother specifying version numbers in POD so you're on your own there. :-) Doubtless there's a way in Dist::Zilla but then you'd have $problems++

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
