missing VERSION when installing or running from git

[Tux]

As currently Spreadsheet/ParseXLSX.pm does not have a $VERSION, which it has in a dist from CPAN, it will be disabled in Spreadsheet::Read, which decides to use a module based on $module::VERSION

That makes testing against bleading edge Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX harder. Much harder.

I can try to switch to using $module->VERSION, but I rather see $VERSION return in the git checkout blib (not required in lib/). Would that be possible? As it stands now, blib does not reflect what will be installed from CPAN, nor reflects a "real" installation when using $PERL5LIB

If you run dzil build, it will generate all of the required files for testing.

Try removing META.yml, MANIFEST, and META.json (or just doing git clean -dfx) and try building again.

Yep, that worked. /me wonders why I cannot close the issue
