I am trying to find the Perl Module version.pm to fix the error below I am receiving while trying to install module CPAN-Meta-Requirements-2.133. But I don't see version.pm, the only one I see is Version.PM which is obviously not the one Perl is looking for. Can anyone point to where I can get this version or how I can fix this dependency if version.pm is no longer available?
Perl Version: v5.16.3
OS: GNU/Linux x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
Error:
Can't locate version.pm in @INC (@INC contains: # Line breaks added

OK, so first: your link is to CPAN/Version.pm. This is very different than version.pm. Directory names and the path relative to Perl's include directory are very important to Perl, and putting a .pm file in the wrong location relative to the include path can break Perl pretty badly.
Second: because of that, never install Perl modules manually. Use cpanm instead:
curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus # Omit --sudo if your perl isn't installed as root
cpanm version
Third: the version.pm that you want is this one: https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/version/lib/version.pod, in the JPEACOCK/version-0.9912 distribution.
