Porting/sync-with-cpan having trouble with version declared in package statement #22395
Description
Yesterday I received email notification of the release of podlators-v6.0.0. (It now uses semantic versioning.) Porting/core-cpan-diff confirmed this:
...
podlators:
Perl: RRA/podlators-5.01.tar.gz
CPAN: RRA/podlators-v6.0.0.tar.gz
...
I prepared to sync v6.0.0 into blead, which required me to first removed the CUSTOMIZED entry for cpan/podlators in Porting/sync-with-cpan. All went smoothly after that, but just at the point where I was ready to create a pull request, I decided to check the overall diff from my local branch to blead. I discovered, that Porting/sync-with-cpan apparently failed to pick up the declaration of versioning which now looks like this on CPAN:
$ ack '^package ' lib/
lib/Pod/Man.pm
15:package Pod::Man v6.0.0;
lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm
13:package Pod::Text::Termcap v6.0.0;
lib/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm
20:package Pod::Text::Overstrike v6.0.0;
lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm
13:package Pod::Text::Color v6.0.0;
lib/Pod/ParseLink.pm
14:package Pod::ParseLink v6.0.0;
lib/Pod/Text.pm
15:package Pod::Text v6.0.0;
In my branch, I got diffs like this:
diff --git a/cpan/podlators/lib/Pod/Text.pm b/cpan/podlators/lib/Pod/Text.pm
index ef76bd9d03..83a7ce22a8 100644

Further inspection showed that none of the real code changes from v6.0.0 were picked up. (See: https://github.com/jkeenan/perl5/tree/podlators-sync-20241011.)
I haven't yet inspected Porting/sync-with-cpan to see whether the problem comes from the (new) absence of $VERSION in the lib/Pod/*.pm files or from the semantic versioning in the package declaration -- or the combination of the two. In any event, my belief is that Porting/sync-with-cpan needs some repairs. (I'll hold off on attempting a sync of podlators-v6.0.0 into blead pending discussion.)
