I've seen complaints about Dir-Self distribution where cpanm failed to parse the version number in some environments. While i couldn't reproduce this, and guess PAUSE has no issues with it, but *VERSION = \'0.10'; looks like just a too creative hack to gain nothing. Can you make it just a regular $VERSION = '0.11' to be friendly for the tools that need to parse that out? Thanks, -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa

Sure, but I'm surprised Dir::Self is the first module where this problem occurs. The typeglob assignment trick to get a read-only var is explicitly documented in https://metacpan.org/module/ExtUtils::MakeMaker#VERSION_FROM .
