NAME

Module::Extract::DeclaredMinimumPerl - Extract the version of Perl a module declares

SYNOPSIS

        use Module::Extract::DeclaredMinimumPerl;

        my $extor = Module::Extract::DeclaredMinimumPerl->new;

        my $version = $extor->get_minimum_declared_perl( $file );
        if( $extor->error ) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

Extract the largest declared Perl version and returns it as a version object. For instance, in a script you might have:

  use v5.16;

This module will extract that v5.16 and return it.

This module tries to handle any format that PPI will recognize, passing them through version.pm to normalize them.

new: Makes an object. The object doesn't do anything just yet, but you need it to call the methods.
init: Set up the object. You shouldn't need to call this yourself. You can override it though!
get_minimum_declared_perl( FILE ): Extracts all of the declared minimum versions for Perl, sorts them, and returns the largest a version object.
error: Return the error from the last call to get_modules.

TO DO

Make it recursive, so it scans the source for any module that it finds.
