Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.
Like most Perl programmers I know, I have a tiny command line utility which prints out a module version:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
my $module = shift;
package OVID::PVERSION; # for modules which won't let you use 'em in %main::
eval "use $module";
die $@ if $@;
print $module->VERSION || "Could not determine a version for $module", $/;
__END__

Today, while trying to figure out a versioning issue in vim, I added the
noremap
,pv :!echo <cword> version `$HOME/bin/pversion '<cword>'`<cr>
