Have you tried
o conf show_unparsable_versions
and rerunning the r command?

On my machine, there are 526 such modules. Most of them seem to be helper (sub)modules in distributions, not installable without the main module, e.g.

Module < Test::Deep::Methods (RJBS/Test-Deep-1.205.tar.gz) Module = App::Ack::Filter::Collection (PETDANCE/ack-v3.9.0.tar.gz) Module = Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI (MIYAGAWA/Plack-1.0051.ta +r.gz)
while some others are really weird, e.g.
Module = overload::numbers (BOOK/perl-5.42.0.tar.gz)
(I'm running this in 5.26.1 and I don't have 5.42.0 installed: I use 5.43.0 instead when experimenting with the new stuff). Update: The message probably shows the latest version at CPAN, which is 5.42.0. The module itself doesn't define a version:
$ perl -Moverload::numbers\ 999 -e1 overload::numbers does not define $overload::numbers::VERSION--version + check failed. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
