Subject: FEATURE: one true version number
Here's one way to make sure that all your files have and use the same version number: Create *::Version module and get Makefile.PL and distro modules all get their version from there. Personally I prefer dzil for managing things like this now but I realise it's not everyone's cup of tea. [example commit to follow]

Problem there is that there are multiple files which have separate versions. The distro version may be incremented due to changes in the doc's that have no affect on another module. More likely, I'll end up with the FB::l 5.8 code frozen forever with the current version updated regularly. If MakeMaker supported v-strings I'd be a lot simpler since I could use the _curr file for the version, but that doesn't look likely to happen any time soon.

At this point the distribution has one version number (defined in the Build.PL). The two modules have the same number (all 1.62). From this point forward the old-code module won't change, the current version will have to be updated. Probably the real answer is to release FindBin::libs_5_8 for the people stuck on the old versions and have a single version number going forward. For now this should work: anyone with v5.8 will be checking the same version forever.
