Yes "VERSION" has to be in the POD. But it has not to be visible. The line consists actually of three parts, that commonally fall together, but need not. First the declaration: * or $ followed by any name that ends in "VERSION", second the activation consisting of a '=',which doesn't have to do anything with the declared
variable, and third the perl code that assigns to the declared variable. This code can be anything, that fits on the line. Before and after these three parts can be anything, that makes sense, if compiled as perl.
For instance This document applies to Version
" X<< ";$myVERSION=join("",map{substr$_,0,-4+length}substr(q+ >>0.1.2X
+<< +,3)).join"",map{""}q< < >>
"

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).
