Either use Janek's suggestion or ask for the value of $VERSION for the
module in question:
perl -MSome::Module -e 'warn Some::Module-VERSION'
Can multiple versions of a module exist in a library or does one get
superceded by another that is installed later?
Usually older versions are replaced by newer versions. But see
http://search.cpan.org/author/INGY/only/
which allows you to install as many versions of a module as you want.
For that see INSTALLING MULTIPLE MODULE VERSIONS in the docs of
'only'.
Once you have several versions you can explicitely specify to use a
particular version of that module. That's also laid out in the docs.

A simple way that works often is perl -MModule::Name -e 'print $Module::Name::VERSION' Another way would be e.g. to use the CPAN module Module::Info Can multiple versions of a module exist in a library or does one get superceded by another that is installed later? You can have as many different module versions on a system as you want. The first module found in the paths, specified by @INC is choosen.
