Hi Andy,
I am using your tool "perl_reversion". Today I run into the following
problem. I wanted to "bump" the version number of a module. The
module did look like
package My_Module 1.48;
use strict;
use warnings;
[snipped lots of code]
1;
But "perl_reversion" did not recognize the version number.
Since Perl 5.12.0 it is possible to specify the version of a module
that way (see perldoc perl5120delta)
Core Enhancements
New "package NAME VERSION" syntax
This new syntax allows a module author to set the $VERSION of a namespace when
the namespace is declared with 'package'. It eliminates the need for "our
$VERSION = ..." and similar constructs. E.g.
But unfortunately Perl::Version is not able to recognize that syntax.
Do you think you could extend Perl::Version for that new syntax?
Cheers,
Norbert
