This package fails to build from source with Perl 5.40 (currently in
experimental.)

package "RestfulDB::Version" (Perhaps you forgot to load the package?) at

This is fallout from a new Perl warning:
https://metacpan.org/dist/perl/view/pod/perldelta.pod#Calling-the-import-method-of-an-unknown-package-produces-a-warning
Proposed patch attached, this fixes it for me.

Subject: Fix RestfulDB::Version import
RestfulDB::Version does not export $VERSION.
This warns with newer versions of Perl (5.40 or so):
Attempt to call undefined import method with arguments ("$VERSION") via package "RestfulDB::Version" (Perhaps you forgot to load the package?) at <script_name> line <line_no>.
