> The Perl/CPAN dependency system is organized around versions for each Perl
> module/package, rather than versions for each distribution.  Up until now, we
> have only maintained a version in Lucy.pm; in order to accommodate Perl/CPAN,
> we must make a version available for every public Perl module.
> The solution is to add an explicit version number to each Perl package which
> is visible to CPAN.  To reduce errors, version numbers will be modified using
> the devel/bin/update_version script, and the Perl build system will validate
> versions for all published modules when building the CPAN tarball.
> Additionally, we will require a more recent version of Module::Build when
> building the CPAN tarball.  (The fact that the CPAN release of Lucy 0.3.0 was
> built with an earlier version of M::B than 0.2.2 caused problems related to
> this version numbering issue.)
