NAME

6       Fedora::VSP - Perl version normalization for RPM
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This module provides functions for normalizing Perl version strings for
10       Red Hat Package (RPM) based Linux distributions.
11
12       RPM version format and semantics is similar to Perl version strings
13       (vX.Y.Z).  But to exactly. Older Perl's fraction version format (X.YZ)
14       is incompatible with RPM.
15
16       This is an effort to map Perl version strings to RPM version strings.
17

FUNCTIONS

19   vsp(STRING, SHORT)
20       Convert a version value into version string format. The output value is
21       stripped from the leading "v" symbol.
22
23       If conversion fails, "undef" will be returned.
24
25       Empty or undefined string will be normalized to "undef".
26
27       If SHORT is true, the returned version string will be shortened by
28       cutting trailing zero groups. If no digit would remain, "undef" will be
29       returned.  This feature ephases brevity.
