NAME

Test::Version - Check to see that version's in modules are sane

VERSION

version 0.11

SYNOPSIS

            use Test::More;
            use Test::Version 0.04;

            # test blib or lib by default
            version_all_ok();

            done_testing;

DESCRIPTION

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:

module has a version

        Tests to insure that all modules checked have a VERSION defined, Can
        replace Test::HasVersion

module has a valid version

        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

METHODS

"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.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Will not test Perl 5.12 "package" version declarations because Module::Extract::VERSION can't extract them yet.

SEE ALSO

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