I agree with Schwern that there is no correct :-) However, if it were 
me, I would generate a version number along with the module (seeded from 
the version number of the generating script.)
The script that generates it doesn't change.  The data that it mangles 
into a module is the bit that changes.

So I'll take the suggestion of putting YYYYMMDD into a version number. 
But then wasn't there some issue with CPAN.pm not liking very long 
version numbers, after Randal went and did his silly automagic daily 
module stunt?
