NAME

       CPAN::Audit::Version - the infrastructure to compare versions and version ranges

SYNOPSIS

               use CPAN::Audit::Version;

               my $cav = CPAN::Audit::Version->new;

               $cav->in_range( $version, $range );

DESCRIPTION

   Class methods
       •   new

           Create a new object. This ignores all arguments.

   Instance methods
       •   affected_versions( ARRAY_REF, RANGE )

           Given an array reference of versions, return a list of all of the versions in ARRAY_REF that are in
           RANGE. This is really a filter on ARRAY_REF using the values for which "in_range" returns true.

                   my @matching = $cav->affected_versions( \@versions, $range );

       •   in_range( VERSION, RANGE )

           Returns true if VERSION is contained in RANGE, and false otherwise.  VERSION is any sort of Perl,
           such as 1.23 or 1.2.3. The RANGE is a comma-separated list of range specifications using the
           comparators "<", "<=", "==", ">", ">=", or "!=". For example, ">=1.23,<1.45", "==1.23", or ">1.23".

                   my $version = 5.67;
                   my $range = '>=5,<6'; # so, all the versions in 5.x

                   if( $cav->in_range( $version, $range ) ) {
                           say "$version is within $range";
                           }
                   else {
                           say "$version is not within $range";
                   }
