Another way is to make the top-level module more akin to a base of the whole dist, which in some manners it is. Then others inherit the version. Class::MOP::Object provides dump for everything ...

At issue is to examine and dissect what really is the use of ::VERSION for each of the concepts of file, module, package, and distribution. These are all very different, but often are used interchangeably due to some of the syntactic sugar applied to them. Dealing with versioning means you really need to carefully examine the distinctions
