Getting the version number to put in the POD is not a problem, as it's already available in Dist::Zilla/Milla when I call the transformation script in dist.ini (that's %v inside the Run::AfterBuild section): 
abstract = Text and data canalising

[CopyFilesFromRelease/Tubergen]
filename = script/tubergen

[@Milla]
Git::Check.allow_dirty = script/tubergen
Git::Commit.allow_dirty = script/tubergen

[Run::AfterBuild]
run = support/podversion.pl "%d" "%v"
run = support/tubergen-bundle.pl "%d" "%v"

[PruneFiles]
filename = cpanfile.snapshot
match = ^support/

[download]

Good to know that others see value in the VERSION section, anyway, so thanks for taking the time!

perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf

Io ho capito... ma tu che hai detto?
