I have just reread perlmod and perlmodlib.  It looks like they both
need a decent amount of work to bring them in line with the new
package syntax.  For instance,

    Give the module a version/issue/release number.

        To be fully compatible with the Exporter and MakeMaker modules
        you should store your module’s version number in a non‐my
        package variable called $VERSION.  This should be a floating
        point number with at least two digits after the decimal (i.e.,
        hundredths, e.g, "$VERSION = "0.01"").  Don’t use a "1.3.2"
        style version.  See Exporter for details.

Should probably be changed to refer to the second package argument
with a caveat about possibly needing $VERSION to satisfy old static
analysis code.
