I agree with Chris here.
And the idea is not to have main package version drifting from
distribution version or the other way around.

I would be tempted to:

Comments?
I thought about that too and rejected it as unnecessary complexity.
You still need a $VERSION in Workflow.pm anyway or else
Workflow->VERSION() doesn't work right, so why not just put the
version in Workflow.pm in the first place.

Because then you have to update more than one module. Shawn's

5. If you have the same data in two places, they will get out off
sync. Write the code to detect and correct this now, because when it
happens, it will be too late.
Try:
package Workflow;
use Workflow::VERSION;
$Workflow::VERSION = $Workflow::VERSION::VERSION;

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
