[Bioperl-l] which version is installed

[Allen Day]

You can set the value of VERSION in WriteMakefile(), or set VERSION_FROM 
to the filename where the version can be found.  This is all documented in 
ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

I think it makes sense to set the release version in Makefile.PL, and to 
let individual modules have their own versions.
