Hi all, Not sure what it would take to do this, but this kind of error crops up a few times: Can't locate object method "some_method" via package "Some::Class" In my case, it turns out that some CPAN testers were using versions of a Type::Tiny released eight years ago. It would be nice if the error looked like this: Can't locate object method "some_method" via package "Some::Class, version 1.01" In another example, CPAN testers failing for Dist-Zilla-Plugin-BumpVersionAfterRelease 0.018, Package::Stash is missing a method, but, this package doesn't show up in the package/version list <http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/3b818100-0c4d-11e9-b2fc-4ec6980eb343> near the top of the error report. I had to dig into the relevant Changelog <https://metacpan.org/dist/Package-Stash/changes>, to learn that these CPAN testers are using a version of Package::Stash released in 2010! Changelogs are very hit or miss. I realize that not all packages have properly declared versions, the package might not be loaded, or the version might be otherwise corrupted, but this change would make it easier for developers to track down bugs.
