i also thought about that, and in the past i have tried several techniques.
i found that it all seems to be too much work.
i'm now using:
my $version_pod = <<'=cut';
=pod
=head1 NAME
Foo.:Bar - blah
=head1 VERSION
$VERSION = "0.71"
=cut
our $VERSION = "0.71";
...
sub __test_version {
my $v = __PACKAGE__->VERSION;
return 1 if $version_pod =~ m/VERSION.*\Q$v/;
return;
}
and then i have a test that calls the __test_version() method.
this way i have to type the version twice, but hey, that's ok. the point is,
i can't forget it as my testsuite would fail.
additionally, Test::Pod fails with your hack. =)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
