The batch file (equivalent to bart's) that I'm using as a result of this thread is: 
@echo off
perl -le "require %1; print %1->VERSION"

As mentioned above, loading the module with '-M' or 'use' won't work with some modules - eg Inline::C, Inline::CPP, Parse::RecDescent. With bart's version.bat I get: 
C:\_32>version Parse::RecDescent
Usage: perl -MLocalTest - <grammarfile> <classname>


C:\_32>version Inline::C
It is invalid to use 'Inline::C' directly. Please consult the Inline
documentation for more information.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

C:\_32>version Inline::CPP
It is invalid to use 'Inline::CPP' directly. Please consult the Inline
documentation for more information.
