>1) Don't bother putting $VERSION anywhere except the main module
This might get you '-1 set by base.pm' or other fun surprises from
Server::Control::Apache->VERSION.

That seems to make sense, but in reality you won't (if you're me) ever
remember to update it and that info is in the version control and
Changes files anyway.
>3) Put the same $VERSION in each module, matching the distribution and
> the main module
This is a good way to do it because you'll have a way to easily diagnose
whether you've somehow ended up with a mismatched set of modules from a
distribution and more easily find the right Changes file given any of
the modules from the dist.
And you can do it automatically with perl-reversion (cpan Perl::Version)
