A feature request! Module::Build is in the building across the street.
Anyhow, even with a new name you'd still be required to set VERSION_FROM,
in addition to the new parameter, else older versions of MM wouldn't know
what version your distribution is.
If all you want is to make sure that all your version numbers match up,
you don't need special features to do this.
$Version = undef;
foreach my $file (qw(lib/Foo.pm lib/Bar.pm)) {
my $version = MM->parse_version($file);
$Version = $version unless defined $Version;
warn "Version of $file ($version) does not match $Version\n"
if $Version != $version;
}
