NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::OurPkgVersion - No line insertion and does Package version with our

VERSION

version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

in dist.ini 

        [OurPkgVersion]

in your modules

        # VERSION

DESCRIPTION

This module was created as an alternative to Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion and uses some code from that module. This module is designed to use a the more readable format "our $VERSION = $version;" as well as not change then number of lines of code in your files, which will keep your repository more in sync with your CPAN release. It also allows you slightly more freedom in how you specify your version.

EXAMPLES

in dist.ini 

        ...
        version = 0.01;
        [OurPkgVersion]

in lib/My/Module.pm

        package My::Module;
        # VERSION
        ...

output lib/My/Module.pm

        package My::Module;
        our $VERSION = '0.01'; # VERSION
        ...

please note that whitespace before the comment is significant so

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
                # VERSION
        }
        ...

becomes

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
                our $VERSION = '0.01'; # VERSION
        }
        ...

while

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
        # VERSION
        }
        ...

becomes

        package My::Module;
        BEGIN {
        our $VERSION = '0.01'; # VERSION
        }
        ...

you can also add additional comments to your comment

        ...
        # VERSION: generated by DZP::OurPkgVersion
        ...

becomes

        ...
        our $VERSION = '0.1.0'; # VERSION: generated by DZP::OurPkgVersion
        ...

you can also use perltidy's default static side comments (##)

        ...
        ## VERSION
        ...

becomes

        ...
        our $VERSION = '0.1.0'; ## VERSION
        ...

Also note, the package line is not in any way significant, it will insert the "our $VERSION" line anywhere in the file before "# VERSION" as many times as you've written "# VERSION" regardless of whether or not inserting it there is a good idea. OurPkgVersion will not insert a version unless you have "# VERSION" so it is a bit more work.

If you make a trial release, the comment will be altered to say so:

        # VERSION

becomes

        our $VERSION = '0.01'; # TRIAL VERSION

METHODS

munge_files
Override the default provided by Dist::Zilla::Role::FileMunger to limit the number of files to search to only be modules and executables.
munge_file
tells which files to munge, see Dist::Zilla::Role::FileMunger
finder
Override the default FileFinder for finding files to check and update. The default value is ":InstallModules" and ":PerlExecFiles" (when available; otherwise ":ExecFiles") -- see also Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ExecDir, to make sure the script files are properly marked as executables for the installer.

PROPERTIES

underscore_eval_version
For version numbers that have an underscore in them, add this line immediately after the our version assignment: 

 $VERSION = eval $VERSION;

This is arguably the correct thing to do, but changes the line numbering of the generated Perl module or source, and thus optional.

skip_main_module
Set to true to ignore the main module in the distribution. This prevents a warning when using Dist::Zilla::Plugin::VersionFromMainModule to obtain the version number instead of the "dist.ini" file.
