 This file was packaged with the Foo-Bar-0.01 distribution on
 Friday January 9th, 2004 on 14:12 CET.

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.

Hmmm... now there are two catches to implement this in Devel::Required.


- Is Devel::Required still a good name then?
- How will I be able to distinguish between a developer and a user situation when Makefile.PL is run?
