12
13         CPAN::Version->vlt("1.1","1.1");      # 0 bc. 1.1 not < 1.1
14
15         CPAN::Version->vcmp("1.1","1.1.1");   # 1 bc. first is larger
16

18
19         CPAN::Version->readable(v1.2.3);      # "v1.2.3"

DESCRIPTION

26       This module mediates between some version that perl sees in a package
27       and the version that is published by the CPAN indexer.
28
29       It's only written as a helper module for both CPAN.pm and CPANPLUS.pm.
30
31       As it stands it predates version.pm but has the same goal: make version
32       strings visible and comparable.
