Test::Version

Check to see that version's in modules are sane

version 1.002004

        use Test::More;
        use Test::Version 1.001001 qw( version_all_ok ), {
                        is_strict   => 0,
                        has_version => 1,
                };
        # test blib or lib by default
        version_all_ok();
        done_testing;

This module's goal is to be a one stop shop for checking to see that your versions across your dist are sane. Please ensure that you use version 0.04 or later only, as earlier versions are old code and may not work correctly. Current feature list:

Tests to insure that all modules checked have a VERSION defined, Can replace Test::HasVersion
Tests to insure that all versions are valid, according to the rules of version method "is_lax". To quote:

The lax criteria corresponds to what is currently allowed by the version parser. All of the following formats are acceptable for dotted-decimal formats strings:

        v1.2
        1.2345.6
        v1.23_4
        1.2345
        1.2345_01

If you want to limit yourself to a much more narrow definition of what a version string constitutes, is_strict() is limited to version strings like the following list:

        v1.234.5
        2.3456

you can cause your tests to fail if not strict by setting is_strict to 1

        version_ok( $filename, [ $name ] );

Test a single ".pm" file by passing a path to the function. Checks if the module has a version, and that it is valid with "is_lax".

        version_all_ok( [ $directory, [ $name ]] );

Test all modules in a directory with "version_ok". By default it will check "blib" or "lib" if you haven't passed it a directory.

        use Test::Version qw( version_all_ok ), { has_version => 0 };

Allows disabling whether a module has to have a version. If set to 0 version tests will be skipped in any module where no version is found.

really doesn't make sense to use with just version_ok

        use Test::Version { is_strict => 1 };

this allows enabling of versions "is_strict" checks to ensure that your version is strict.

The goal is to have the functionality of all of these.
