NAME

       pmvers - print out a module's version

DESCRIPTION

       Given one or more module names, show the version number if present.  If more than one
       argument is given, the name of the module will also be printed.  Not all modules define
       version numbers, however.

EXAMPLES

           $ pmvers CGI
           2.46

           $ pmvers IO::Socket Text::Parsewords
           IO::Socket: 1.25
           Text::ParseWords: 3.1

           $ oldperl -S pmvers CGI
           2.42

           $ filsperl -S pmvers CGI
           2.46

           $ pmvers Devel::Loaded
           pmvers: unknown version for module `Devel::Loaded'
