NAME

Test::MinimumVersion - does your code require newer perl than you think?

VERSION

version 0.101080

SYNOPSIS

Example minimum-perl.t:

#!perl
use Test::MinimumVersion;
all_minimum_version_ok('5.008');

FUNCTIONS

minimum_version_ok

minimum_version_ok($file, $version);

This test passes if the given file does not seem to require any version of perl newer than $version, which may be given as a version string or a version object.

all_minimum_version_ok

all_minimum_version_ok($version, \%arg);

Given either a version string or a version object, this routine produces a test plan (if there is no plan) and tests each relevant file with minimum_version_ok.

Relevant files are found by File::Find::Rule::Perl.

\%arg is optional. Valid arguments are:

paths   - in what paths to look for files; defaults to (t, lib, xt/smoke,
          and any .pm or .PL files in the current working directory)
          if it contains files, they will be checked
no_plan - do not plan the tests about to be run

all_minimum_version_from_metayml_ok

all_minimum_version_from_metayml_ok(\%arg);

This routine checks META.yml for an entry in requires for perl. If no META.yml file or no perl version is found, all tests are skipped. If a version is found, the test proceeds as if all_minimum_version_ok had been called with that version.
