NAME

6       Test::HasVersion - Check Perl modules have version numbers
7

SYNOPSIS

9       "Test::HasVersion" lets you check a Perl module has a version number in
10       a "Test::Simple" fashion.
11
12         use Test::HasVersion tests => 1;
13         pm_version_ok("M.pm", "Valid version");
14
15       Module authors can include the following in a t/has_version.t file and
16       let "Test::HasVersion" find and check all installable PM files in a
17       distribution.
18
19         use Test::More;
20         eval "use Test::HasVersion";
21         plan skip_all =>
22              'Test::HasVersion required for testing for version numbers' if $@;
23         all_pm_version_ok();
24

DESCRIPTION

26       Do you wanna check that every one of your Perl modules in a
27       distribution has a version number? You wanna make sure you don't forget
28       the brand new modules you just added?  Well, that's the module you have
29       been looking for.  Use it!
30
31       Do you wanna check someone else's distribution to make sure the author
32       have not committed the sin of leaving Perl modules without a version
33       that can be used to tell if you have this or that feature?
34       "Test::HasVersion" is also for you, nasty little fellow.
35
36       There's a script test_version which is installed with this
37       distribution. You may invoke it from within the root directory of a
38       distribution you just unpacked, and it will check every .pm file in the
39       directory and under lib/ (if any).
40
41         $ test_version
42
43       You may also provide directories and files as arguments.
44
45         $ test_version *.pm lib/ inc/
46         $ test_version .
47
48       (Be warned that many Perl modules in a t/ directory do not receive
49       versions because they are not used outside the distribution.)
50
51       Ok. That's not a very useful module by now.  But it will be. Wait for
52       the upcoming releases.
53
54   FUNCTIONS
55       PRIVATE _pm_version
56             $v = _pm_version($pm);
57
58           Parses a PM file and return what it thinks is $VERSION in this
59           file. (Actually implemented with "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
60           MM->parse_version($file)".)  $pm is the filename (eg.,
61           lib/Data/Dumper.pm).
62
63       pm_version_ok
64             pm_version_ok('Module.pm');
65             pm_version_ok('M.pm', 'Has valid version');
66
67           Checks to see if the given file has a valid version. Actually a
68           valid version number is defined and not equal to 'undef' (the
69           string) which is return by "_pm_version" if a version cannot be
70           determined.
71
72       all_pm_version_ok
73             all_pm_version_ok();
74             all_pm_version_ok(@PM_FILES);
75
76           Checks every given file and .pm files found under given directories
77           to see if they provide valid version numbers. If no argument is
78           given, it defaults to check every file *.pm in the current
79           directory and recurses under the lib/ directory (if it exists).
80
81           If no test plan was setted, "Test::HasVersion" will set one after
82           computing the number of files to be tested. Otherwise, the plan is
83           left untouched.
84
85       PRIVATE _list_pm_files
86             @pm_files = _list_pm_files(@dirs);
87
88           Returns all PM files under the given directories.
89
90       all_pm_files
91             @files = all_pm_files()
92             @files = all_pm_files(@files_and_dirs);
93
94           Implements finding the Perl modules according to the semantics of
95           the previous function "all_pm_version_ok".
96

USAGE

98       Other usage patterns besides the ones given in the synopsis.
99
100         use Test::More tests => $num_tests;
101         use Test::HasVersion;
102         pm_version_ok($file1);
103         pm_version_ok($file2);
104
105       Obviously, you can't plan twice.
106
107         use Test::More;
108         use Test::HasVersion;
109         plan tests => $num_tests;
110         pm_version_ok($file);
111
112       "plan" comes from "Test::More".
113
114         use Test::More;
115         use Test::HasVersion;
116         plan 'no_plan';
117         pm_version_ok($file);
118
119       "no_plan" is ok either.
