IIRC, you had the following:
$VERSION = '0.01';
...
use Inline C => 'DATA',
VERSION => $VERSION;
The 'use' statement happens before the '$VERSION=...' (not Inline::MM's
rules, but perl's.) You need to BEGIN {$VERSION='0.01';} if you want
it to be defined before the 'use' (see `perldoc -f use`.)

Turns out the optimal technique is to put it in reverse and gun it.
