15 Can now also be used as a light-weight module for getting versions of
16 modules without loading them:
17
18 BEGIN { $V::NO_EXIT = 1 }
19 require V;
20
21 printf "%s has version '%s'\n", "V", V::get_version( "V" );

24 This module uses stolen code from Module::Info to find the location and
25 version of the specified module(s). It prints them and exit()s.

27 It defines "import()" and is based on an idea from Michael Schwern on
28 the perl5-porters list. See the discussion:
