in thread Don’t Repeat Your… version number

FWIW, my module Devel::Required takes a similar approach to automatically update version information for required external modules. I guess it could be easily expanded to include the version information of the module itself.

    That would be grand. The less boilerplate I need to deploy, the better.

      Devel::Required 0.07 now on its way to CPAN. It includes support for (assuming your module's version is 1.01) automatically replacing: 
      Version:

      [download]
      with: 
      Version:
 1.01

      [download]
      in README type text files, and: 
      =head1 VERSION

      [download]
      with: 
      =head1 VERSION

This documentation describes version 1.01.

      [download]
      in pod type files (such as your module's source) each time your run "perl Makefile.PL". The version information is automatically obtained form the generated "Makefile", so it automatically uses any heuristics that ExtUtils::MakeMaker uses. For more information, see the pod of Devel::Required.

      For the people who can't wait until it is replicated all over the world, you can get a copy from my own CPAN directory

      Have fun!
