Laziness good. :-)

The date is a nice touch. I'd definitely include the file's
private version in the POD though. It might be better kept under
a more generic heading such as VERSION then. Although
DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION would still be appropriate if maybe it's
phrased like "This file is Foo::Bar::Baz 0.07, packaged with the
[...]" or something.

At any rate, regardless of my preferences automating this would
be helpful whichever form the POD takes. Maybe it should be
configurable; either fully and freely or as a choice between
predefined forms. But maybe uniformity is more desirable. I have
no arguments and so no firm opinion on that.
