I'm writing my first Makefile.pl that will put together another script based on the current system's environment. One of the things I'll be checking on is whether or not certain required modules are installed. I found this thread that shows how to find out if a module is present on a machine, however what about finding the version of the Module? I read through John's meditation but I'm not certain that it really provides the answer I'm looking for. It was the only return to a PM search on 'check module version'. Any known good methods of achieving this? -c

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
