   -man                view man page for perl-reversion
   -bump               make the smallest possible increment

   -bump-revision      increment the specified version component
   -bump-version
   -bump-subversion
   -bump-alpha

   -set <version>      set the project version number
   -current <version>  specify the current version

   -dskip              specify a directory not to searched
                       you can specify this multiple times

   -normal             print current version in a specific format OR
   -numify             force versions to be a specific format,
   -stringify          with -set or -bump

   -dryrun             just go through the motions, but don't
                       actually save files

DESCRIPTION

A typical distribution of a Perl module has embedded version numbers is a number of places. Typically the version will be mentioned in the README file and in each module's source. For a module the version may appear twice: once in the code and once in the pod.

This script makes it possible to update all of these version numbers with a simple command.

To update the version numbers of specific files name them on the command line. Any directories will be recursively expanded.

If used with no filename arguments perl-reversion will attempt to update README and any files below lib/ in the current project.

OPTIONS

-bump

Attempt to make the smallest possible increment to the version. The least significant part of the version string is incremented.

1       =>  2
1.1     =>  1.2
1.1.1   =>  1.1.2
1.1.1_1 =>  1.1.1_2
-bump-revision
-bump-version
-bump-subversion
-bump-alpha

Increment the specified version component. Like the inc_* methods of Perl::Version, incrementing a component sets all components to the right of it to zero.

-set <version>

Set the version to the specified value. Unless the -normal option is also specified the format of each individual version string will be preserved.

-current <version>

Specify the current version. Only matching version strings will be updated.

-dskip <dir>

Specify the directory dir not to search. This option can be selected multiple times.

-normal
-numify
-stringify

Use a specific formatting, as in "Formatting" in Perl::Version.

Alone, these options control how the current (found) version is displayed.

With -bump or -set, also update version strings to have the given formatting, regardless of the version format passed to -set or the current version (for -bump).

If none of these options are specified, perl-reversion will preserve the formatting of each individual version string (the same as -stringify).

-dryrun

If set, perl-reversion will not save files. Use this to see what gets changed before it actually happens.
