SYNOPSISperl-reversion [options] [file ...]
Options:
-help see this summary
-man view man page for perl-reversion-bump make the smallest possible increment
-bump-revision increment the specified version component
-bump-version
-bump-subversion
-bump-alpha
-set <version> set the project version number
-current <version> specify the current version
-normal print current version in a specific format OR
-numify force versions to be a specific format,
-stringify with -set or -bump
-dryrun just go through the motions, but don't
actually save files
DESCRIPTION
A typical distribution of a Perl module has embedded version numbers is
a number of places. Typically the version will be mentioned in the
README file and in each module's source. For a module the version may
appear twice: once in the code and once in the pod.
This script makes it possible to update all of these version numbers
with a simple command.
To update the version numbers of specific files name them on the
command line. Any directories will be recursively expanded.
If used with no filename arguments perl-reversion will attempt to
update README and any files below lib/ in the current project.
OPTIONS
"-bump"
Attempt to make the smallest possible increment to the version. The
least significant part of the version string is incremented.
1 => 2
1.1 => 1.2
1.1.1 => 1.1.2
1.1.1_1 => 1.1.1_2
"-bump-revision"
"-bump-version"
"-bump-subversion"
"-bump-alpha"
Increment the specified version component. Like the "inc_*"
methods of Perl::Version, incrementing a component sets all
components to the right of it to zero.
"-set <version>"
Set the version to the specified value. Unless the "-normal" option
is also specified the format of each individual version string will
be preserved.
"-current <version>"
Specify the current version. Only matching version strings will be
updated.
"-normal"
"-numify"
"-stringify"
Use a specific formatting, as in "Formatting" in Perl::Version.
Alone, these options control how the current (found) version is
displayed.
With "-bump" or "-set", also update version strings to have the
given formatting, regardless of the version format passed to "-set"
or the current version (for "-bump").
If none of these options are specified, perl-reversion will
preserve the formatting of each individual version string (the same
as "-stringify").
"-dryrun"
If set, perl-reversion will not save files. Use this to see what
gets changed before it actually happens.
