Re^2: $VERSION in module files

I thought I was cargo culting but just confirmed that module-starter does it (and use it to start a module):

> module-starter --module=Foo::Bar,Foo::Bat --author="XYZ" --email=abc
+@xyz.com

> cat Foo-Bar/lib/Foo/Bar.pm
...

=head1 NAME

Foo::Bar - The great new Foo::Bar!

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.01

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.01';

I thought I was cargo culting but just confirmed that module-starter does it (and use it to start a module) Yeah, fair enough ... but that sort of begs 2 additional questions: 1) What happens if you don't put a `=head1 VERSION` section in your pod; 2) Why has the absence of such a pod heading in any of my modules not caused me any problems - not to mention unbearable embarrassment and humiliation ? Sorry ... I'm being a bit of a halfsmartarse in posing it that way. Nothing against you, bliako, I'm really just wondering if there's some point in going to such lengths. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
