Hi, I'm a maintainer for  XML::TreeBuilder and XML::Element, both of
which ship in the same package. I've noticed that
02packages.details.txt does not seem to pick up versions that are not
hard coded in the module.

e.g. from latest http://www.cpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt

XML::Element                        4.0  J/JF/JFEARN/XML-TreeBuilder-4.0.tar.gz
...
XML::TreeBuilder                   3.09  S/SB/SBURKE/XML-TreeBuilder-3.09.tar.gz

However in 
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/JFEARN/XML-TreeBuilder-4.0/lib/XML/TreeBuilder.pm

$VERSION = $XML::Element::VERSION;

In previous versions of XML::TreeBuilder $VERSION was hard coded.

Is this expected behaviour?

I'd be happy to look in to the code if it's a bug and requires fixing.

Cheers, Jeff.
