Well, for DBI, this tells you all three of those things:

perl -MDBI=9999

But good luck on a more general solution, seems like there have been some good suggestions for you.

    Part of that doesn't work, at least on my system. Here's what I get: 
       [hmerrill@merrill bin]$ perl -MDBI=9999
   DBI version 9999 required--this is only version 1.32 at
   /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Exporter/Heavy.pm line 121.
   BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

    It does print the version of DBI(1.32), but notice that the path name refers to Exporter::Heavy, and not DBI.

      It's a bit long as one-liners go, but it does the job and could probably be golfed. 

      P:\test>perl -le"BEGIN{eval qq[use $ARGV[0]]} print ${$ARGV[0].'::VERS
+ION'};   $ARGV[0]=~s[::][/]g; print $INC{$ARGV[0].'.pm'}" File::Find
