NAME

       Debbugs::Versions::Dpkg - pure-Perl dpkg-style version comparison

DESCRIPTION

       The Debbugs::Versions::Dpkg module provides pure-Perl routines to compare dpkg-style version numbers, as
       used in Debian packages. If you have the libapt-pkg Perl bindings available (Debian package libapt-pkg-
       perl), they may offer better performance.

METHODS

       vercmp  Compare  the  two  arguments  as  dpkg-style  version  numbers.  Returns -1 if the first argument
               represents a lower version number than the second, 1 if the first argument  represents  a  higher
               version number than the second, and 0 if the two arguments represent equal version numbers.

       Don  Armstrong <don@donarmstrong.com> and Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>, based on the implementation
       in "dpkg/lib/vercmp.c" by Ian Jackson and others.
