It's almost certainly a mistake to use or require a pod-only module, so
returning false could be seen as a feature. It also appears there's no
package there, so it can't technically be considered a module. In fact,
I just noticed that the Catalyst::Manual in 5.55 is a .pod file.
There's a distribution for Catalyst-Manual, which does have a $VERSION.
This is probably what is being alluded to in Catalyst::Devel
