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!

Liz.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
