The script is CPAN.pm, used by anyone installing stuff from the CPAN. The version number of 1.02 is found at line 40 of XML/Filter/Dispatcher/Parser.pm. I see that it's a generated file, and that "package Parse::Yapp::Driver" apepars before the VERSION string. I don't know what you have to do to do it differently, but it needs to get fixed.
