How does one get the version of a installed package?


EG. If I want to know which version of the DBI I have, what do I do?


Thanks,

This often works:

perl -MMy::Module -e "print $My::Module::VERSION"

, since, by convention, modules contain a variable $VERSION containing the
version number (this is also what tells MakeMaker what version it is). Not
every module does it this way, but it's a good first shot.

Cheers,
Philip

PS: On Unix, I do this:

perl -MMy::Module -le 'print $My::Module::VERSION"

; that is, besides changing the double quotes to single to protect the $
from the shell, I add the -l flag so that Perl will add a newline after the
string. Otherwise output tends to look like this:

pne$ perl -MMy::Module -e 'print $My::Module::VERSION'
3.14pne $

When in doubt, use your trusty editor and search for version (upper/lower case).
