NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion - add a $VERSION to your packages

VERSION

       version 5.008

SYNOPSIS

       in dist.ini

         [PkgVersion]

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin will add lines like the following to each package in each Perl module or
       program (more or less) within the distribution:

         {
           $MyModule::VERSION = 0.001;
         }

       ...where 0.001 is the version of the dist, and MyModule is the name of the package being
       given a version.  (In other words, it always uses fully-qualified names to assign
       versions.)

       It will skip any package declaration that includes a newline between the "package" keyword
       and the package name, like:

         package
           Foo::Bar;

       This sort of declaration is also ignored by the CPAN toolchain, and is typically used when
       doing monkey patching or other tricky things.

ATTRIBUTES

   die_on_existing_version
       If true, then when PkgVersion sees an existing $VERSION assignment, it will throw an
       exception rather than skip the file.  This attribute defaults to false.

SEE ALSO

       Core Dist::Zilla plugins: PodVersion, AutoVersion, NextRelease.

       Other Dist::Zilla plugins: OurPkgVersion inserts version numbers using "our $VERSION =
       '...';" and without changing line numbers
