NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::OurPkgVersion - no line insertion and does Package version with our

VERSION

version 0.005001

SYNOPSIS

in dist.ini

        [OurPkgVersion]

in your modules

        # VERSION

DESCRIPTION

This module was created as an alternative to Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion and uses some code from that module. This module is designed to use a the more readable format our $VERSION = $version; as well as not change then number of lines of code in your files, which will keep your repository more in sync with your CPAN release. It also allows you slightly more freedom in how you specify your version.

EXAMPLES

in dist.ini

        ...
        version = 0.01;
        [OurPkgVersion]

in lib/My/Module.pm

        package My::Module;
        # VERSION
        ...

output lib/My/Module.pm

        package My::Module;
        our $VERSION = '0.01'; # VERSION
        ...

please note that whitespace before the comment is significant so

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
                # VERSION
        }
        ...

becomes

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
                our $VERSION = '0.01'; # VERSION
        }
        ...

while

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
        # VERSION
        }
        ...

becomes

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
        our $VERSION = '0.01'; # VERSION
        }
        ...

you can also add additional comments to your comment

        ...
        # VERSION: generated by DZP::OurPkgVersion
        ...

becomes

        ...
        our $VERSION = '0.1.0'; # VERSION: generated by DZP::OurPkgVersion
        ...

Also note, the package line is not in any way significant, it will insert the our $VERSION line anywhere in the file before # VERSION as many times as you've written # VERSION regardless of whether or not inserting it there is a good idea. OurPkgVersion will not insert a version unless you have # VERSION so it is a bit more work.

If you make a trial release, the comment will be altered to say so:

        # VERSION

becomes

        our $VERSION = '0.01'; # TRIAL VERSION
