NAME

       V - Print version of the specified module(s).

SYNOPSIS

           $ perl -MV=V

       or if you want more than one

           $ perl -MV=CPAN,V

       Can now also be used as a light-weight module for getting versions of modules without loading them:

           require V;
           printf "%s has version '%s'\n", "V", V::get_version( "V" );

       If you want all available files/versions from @INC:

           require V;
           my @all_V = V::Module::Info->all_installed("V");
           printf "%s:\n", $all_V[0]->name;
           printf "\t%-50s - %s\n", $_->file, $_->version
               for @all_V;

       Each element in that array isa "V::Module::Info" object with 3 attributes and a method:

       attribute name
           The package name.

       attribute file
           Full filename with directory.

       attribute dir
           The base directory (from @INC) where the package-file was found.

       method version
           This  method  will  look  through the file to see if it can find a version assignment in the file and
           uses that determine the version. As of version 0.13_01, all versions found  are  passed  through  the
           version module.

DESCRIPTION

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

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

         https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2002/01/msg51007.html

   V::get_version($pkg)
       Returns the version of the first available file for this package as found by following @INC.

       Arguments

       1. $pkg
           The name of the package for which one wants to know the version.

       Response

       This  "V::get_version()"  returns  the  version  of  the  file  that  was first found for this package by
       following @INC or "undef" if no file was found.
