NAME

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

VERSION

version 0.10

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.

Test::ConsistentVersion
