please include $VERSIONs in all indexed modules #79

There is no $VERSION in the public modules such as IO::File::All, which makes debugging more difficult. If a module is going to go into the PAUSE index, please include a $VERSION for it.

Traditionally, one includes a version in the main module and people depend on that.

Generally a VERSION otherwise is only required for things that are explicitly independent features that happen to be in the same dist - and IO::All::File isn't such a thing.
