A question of my own: I immediately thought of the "single point of

package My::Sub::Module;
use My::Base::Module;
our $VERSION = $My::Base::Module::VERSION;
or similar. Would this trip up some version processing infrastructure
somewhere?
Yes, it will trip up anything that tries to extract the version from the
code without running it. This includes the PAUSE indexer so your code
will either not get indexed or will get indexed wrongly.
