Hi, Dmitry.
The PAUSE indexer scans the code without executing the Perl (which
would be a security risk), so it's just looking for a pattern like
"package Foo::Bar" and then failing to find "$VERSION = ..."
afterwards. You can obscure a package by putting a carriage return
after 'package' and before the namespace:
package
Prima::Drawable; # hide from PAUSE
It's a quirky hack, but works.
