NAME¶

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion - add a $VERSION to your packages

VERSION¶

version 4.300020

SYNOPSIS¶

in dist.ini

  [PkgVersion]

DESCRIPTION¶

This plugin will add lines like the following to each package in each Perl module or program (more or less) within the distribution:

  {
    $MyModule::VERSION = 0.001;
  }

...where 0.001 is the version of the dist, and MyModule is the name of the package being given a version. (In other words, it always uses fully-qualified names to assign versions.) It will skip any package declaration that includes a newline between the "package" keyword and the package name, like:

  package
    Foo::Bar;

This sort of declaration is also ignored by the CPAN toolchain, and is typically used when doing monkey patching or other tricky things.

SEE ALSO¶

Core Dist::Zilla plugins: PodVersion, AutoVersion, NextRelease. Other Dist::Zilla plugins: OurPkgVersion inserts version numbers using "our $VERSION = '...';" and without changing line numbers
