Bug #49637 for ExtUtils-Install: version() doesn't work for Bundles

Subject:

version() doesn't work for Bundles

version() doesn't work for Bundles like IO::Compress. e.g. perl -e 'use ExtUtils::Installed; my $mod="IO::Compress"; my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new($mod); my $ver = $inst->version($mod) || die "$!"; print "$ver\n"' This will die with No such file or directory at -e line 1. As it's looking for IO/Compress.pm but can't find it (as the bundle doesn't install it). It should do something smarter to get the bundle version rather than just dying. -- Save our economy, demand finishing metric conversion from your federal and state representatives.

Confirmed that this is still a problem: ##### $ perl -MExtUtils::Installed -E 'say ExtUtils::Installed->new(skip_cwd => 1)->version(q{List::Compare});' 0.39 $ perl -MExtUtils::Installed -E 'say ExtUtils::Installed->new(skip_cwd => 1)->version(q{IO::Compress});' IO::Compress is not installed at -e line 1. $ perl -MExtUtils::Installed -E 'say ExtUtils::Installed->new(skip_cwd => 1)->version(q{ExtUtils::Installed});' ExtUtils::Installed is not installed at -e line 1. #####
