in reply to $VERSION Archeology

I created Module::Extract::Version to do this. It's the same code from PAUSE's mldistwatch, but without all the PAUSE stuff.

    I see this handles pod correctly. That tripped up my scripts.

    I think the "without running code" might be better written as "without running the entire module", since there's still a string eval (if I understand the code correctly).
