PERL_VERSION gives the version, but not the build number
e.g. 5.00503 rather than 522
I'm looking for the 522.
Thanks

Subject: AMENDMENT: How to find out the Perl build, not the version?
>From perlvar:
$PERL_VERSION
$^V The revision, version, and subversion of the Perl
interpreter,
represented as a string composed of characters with those
ordinals. Thus in Perl v5.6.0 it equals "chr(5) . chr(6) .
chr(0)" and will return true for "$^V eq v5.6.0". Note that the
characters in this string value can potentially be in Unicode
range.
This can be used to determine whether the Perl interpreter
executing a script is in the right range of versions.
(Mnemonic:
use ^V for Version Control.) Example:
warn "No \"our\" declarations!\n" if $^V and $^V lt v5.6.0;
See the documentation of "use VERSION" and "require VERSION" for
a convenient way to fail if the running Perl interpreter is too
old.
See also "$]" for an older representation of the Perl version.

Do "perl -V", instead of "perl -v" (capitalize the "v"). The first line should read
something like:
"Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 6 subversion 1) configuration:"
Grab that line and do some massaging...

I can get the build version by looking at $], but I'm interested in the actual build
version as in 522?
Are there any special variable that I can access?
Any suggestions on how I can find this apart from doing perl -v and parsing out the
build number?
