Ahhh, it is this code from CPAN.pm (being these are lines 4 and 5):

OK, I have it sussed out, but I'm not sure how to fix it yet for
the general case. The issue only comes up when you use fully-
qualified $Package::VERSION assignments because of the way that
Module::Build::ModuleInfo is coded.
Probably the first step is to add a failing test case to t/
moduleinfo.t, would that be fairly easy?
2) the second line is scanned and eval'd *in isolation* and cannot
access the previous line's assignment, so it both fails to "eval"
and also notes that the $VERSION has already been assigned.
My understanding was that the second line shouldn't be scanned at
all, because we already have a $VERSION variable set from the first
line.
