Subject: "--version" prints an error message
Hi, When running "module-starter --version", I get "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at module-starter line 59." I'm running Module::Starter version 1.38 . Line 59 is: version => sub { print "module-starter v$Module::Starter::VERSION\n"; exit 1; }, The problem seems to be that Module::Starter is not "used" anywhere, nor is it "required" before this line. so $Module::Starter::VERSION ends up being an empty string. I would have sent a patch, but I am confused about what version to print - always that of Module::Starter, or the selected backend? If the selected backend, I guess Starter.pm needs to be patched to provide a version method, or should something else be done? Also, --version, --plugin and --class are not documented in the SYNOPSYS section. Is that on purpose? Hope this helps, Offer Kaye

I vote $Module::Starter::Version, since that helps users make better bug reports. Show quoted text

Maybe that should be a wishlist item (possibly the sub for --version looks for an argument in @ARGV and reports on the version of that package.) --Eric
