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

tests/cases/HTMLGenerator.pm_001.sh: FAILED:

> 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>.

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.

X-Dgit-Generated: 0.16.0+dfsg-1 6d05da4077a1b5fa329265880b0f52cfe07a6717 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>.
