Pandoc::Version - version number of pandoc and its libraries
$version = Pandoc::Version->new("1.17.2"); # create version $version = bless [1,17,2], 'Pandoc::Version'; # equivalent "$version"; # stringify to "1.17.2" $version > 1.9; # compare $version->[0]; # major $version->[1]; # minor $version->match('1.17'); # true for 1.17, 1.17.x, 1.17.x.y...
This module is used to store and compare version numbers of pandoc executable and Haskell libraries compiled into pandoc. A Pandoc::Version object is an array reference of one or more non-negative integer values.
In most cases there is no need to create Pandoc::Version objects by hand. Just use the instances returned by methods version and libs of module Pandoc and trust in overloading.
version
libs
Return a string representation of a version, for instance "1.17.0.4". This method is automatically called by overloading in string context.
"1.17.0.4"
Return a number representation of a version, for instance 1.017000004. This method is automatically called by overloading in number context.
1.017000004
Compare two version numbers. This is method is used automatically by overloading to compare version objects with strings or numbers (operators eq, lt, le, ge, ==, <, >, <=, and >=).
eq
lt
le
ge
==
<
>
<=
>=
Return whether a version number matches another version number if cut to the same number of parts. For instance 1.2.3 matches 1, 1.2, and 1.2.3.
1.2.3
1
1.2
Return whether a version number fullfills a version requirement, such as !=1.16, <=1.17. See "Version Ranges" in CPAN::Meta::Spec for possible values.
!=1.16, <=1.17
Return an array reference of the version number to serialize in JSON format.
version is a similar module for Perl version numbers.
SemVer extends versions to Semantic Versioning as described at http://semver.org/.
