This will run all your code normally, but then as the Perl
interpreter is about to exit, it will print something
like:
.PP

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
I often get email from someone reporting a bug in a module I've
written.  I email back, asking what version of the module it is,
what version of Perl on what \s-1OS,\s0 and sometimes what version of
some relevent third library (like XML::Parser).  They reply,
saying \*(L"Perl 5\*(R".  I say "I need the exact version, as reported
by \f(CW\*(C`perl \-v\*(C'\fR\*(L".  They tell me.  And I say \*(R"I, uh, also asked about
the version of my module and XML::Parser [or whatever]\*(L".  They say
\&\*(R"Oh yeah.  It's 2.27\*(L".  \*(R"Is that my module or XML::Parser?\*(L" 
\&\*(R"XML::Parser.\*(L"  \*(R"\s-1OK,\s0 and what about my module's
version?\*(L"  \*(R"Ohyeah.  That's 3.11."  By this time, days have passed,
and what should have been a simple operation \*(-- reporting the version
of Perl and relevent modules, has been needlessly complicated.
.PP
This module is for simplifying that task.  If you add \*(L"use
Module::Versions::Report;\*(R" to a program (especially handy if your
program is one that demonstrates a bug in some module), then when the
program has finished running, you well get a report detailing the all
modules in memory, and noting the version of each (for modules that
defined a \f(CW$VERSION\fR, at least).
.SH "USING"
.IX Header "USING"
.SS "Importing"
.IX Subsection "Importing"
If this package is imported then \s-1END\s0 block is set, and report printed to
stdout on a program exit, so use \f(CW\*(C`use Module::Versions::Report;\*(C'\fR if you
need a report on exit or \f(CW\*(C`use Module::Versions::Report ();\*(C'\fR otherwise
and call report or print_report functions yourself.
.SS "report and print_report functions"
.IX Subsection "report and print_report functions"
The first one returns preformatted report as a string, the latter outputs
a report to stdout.
