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.
