Test::Version(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Version(3)NAMETest::Version - Check to see that version's in modules are sane
VERSION
version 1.0.0
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More;
use Test::Version 0.04;
# test blib or lib by default
version_all_ok();
done_testing;
DESCRIPTION
This module's goal is to be a one stop shop for checking to see that
your versions across your dist are sane. Please ensure that you use
version 0.04 or later only, as earlier versions are old code and may
not work correctly. Current feature list:
module has a version
Tests to insure that all modules checked have a VERSION defined,
Can replace Test::HasVersion
module has a valid version
Tests to insure that all versions are valid, according to the rules
of version method "is_lax". To quote:
The lax criteria corresponds to what is currently allowed by the
version parser. All of the following formats are acceptable for
dotted-decimal formats strings:
v1.2
1.2345.6
v1.23_4
1.2345
1.2345_01
METHODS
"version_ok( $filename, [ $name ] );"
Test a single ".pm" file by passing a path to the function. Checks
if the module has a version, and that it is valid with "is_lax".
"version_all_ok( [ $directory, [ $name ]] );"
Test all modules in a directory with "version_ok". By default it
will check "blib" or "lib" if you haven't passed it a directory.
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Will not test Perl 5.12 "package" version declarations because
Module::Extract::VERSION can't extract them yet.
SEE ALSO
The goal is to have the functionality of all of these.
Test::HasVersion
Test::ConsistentVersion
Test::GreaterVersion
