NAME

6       Module::Extract::VERSION - Extract a module version safely
7

SYNOPSIS

9               use Module::Extract::VERSION;
10
11               my $version   # just the version
12                       = Module::Extract::VERSION->parse_version_safely( $file );
13
14               my @version_info # extra info
15                       = Module::Extract::VERSION->parse_version_safely( $file );
16

DESCRIPTION

18       This module lets you pull out of module source code the version number
19       for the module. It assumes that there is only one $VERSION in the file
20       and the entire $VERSION statement is on the same line.
21
22   Class methods
23       $class->parse_version_safely( FILE );
24           Given a module file, return the module version. This works just
25           like "mldistwatch" in PAUSE. It looks for the single line that has
26           the $VERSION statement, extracts it, evals it in a Safe
27           compartment, and returns the result.
28
29           In scalar context, it returns just the version as a string. In list
30           context, it returns the list of:
31
32                   sigil
33                   fully-qualified variable name
34                   version value
35                   file name
36                   line number of $VERSION

46       I stole the some of this code from "mldistwatch" in the PAUSE code by
47       Andreas König, but I've moved most of it around.
48
49       Andrey Starodubtsev added code to handle the v5.12 and v5.14 "package"
50       syntax.
