Module::Extract::VERSIUser)Contributed Perl DocumenModule::Extract::VERSION(3)NAMEModule::Extract::VERSION - Extract a module version without running
code
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Extract::VERSION;
my $version # just the version
= Module::Extract::VERSION->parse_version_safely( $file );
my @version_info # extra info
= Module::Extract::VERSION->parse_version_safely( $file );
DESCRIPTION
This module lets you pull out of module source code the version number
for the module. It assumes that there is only one $VERSION in the file.
Class methods
$class->parse_version_safely( FILE );
Given a module file, return the module version. This works just
like "mldistwatch" in PAUSE. It looks for the single line that has
the $VERSION statement, extracts it, evals it, and returns the
result.
In scalar context, it returns just the version as a string. In list
context, it returns the list of:
sigil
fully-qualified variable name
version value
file name
line number of $VERSION

I stole the some of this code from "mldistwatch" in the PAUSE code by
Andreas Koenig, but I've moved most of it around.
