Proper technique for setting a project-wide $VERSION?

Hi,
I want to set a $VERSION for my whole project, same in every .pm file.  I used 
to just use a script that did some s/// but its gotten a bit more complicated 
now that I'm using version.pm.

What I tried is to have lib/perl5i/VERSION.pm which contains:

     package perl5i::VERSION;

     use version 0.77; our $VERSION = qv("v0.2.1");

And other .pm files do:

     use perl5i::VERSION; our $VERSION = perl5i::VERSION->VERSION;

Unfortunately when Build.PL is reading the version it picks up the installed 
perl5i::VERSION and not the one sitting in lib.

A simple fix would seem to be putting "use lib 'lib'" into the Build.PL.  Any 
caveats.  Alternatively, anyone have a better way?
