How to increment subversion number inside Perl program

bulrush has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

The answer to this could be a 'perl -e' program, or csh or bash solution.

In my Perl program I have the version and subversion numbers like this:

$SUBVER=2; # 2 is current subversion
$VER="1.0.".sprintf("%03d",$SUBVER);

I have a csh script which copies my test script to my production directory each time I update it. How can I get my 'update' script to increase the $SUBVER number in my perl code each time my 'update' csh script runs?

Thanks.

If you are willing to depart from your current method of constructing the version, Perl::Version comes with a script, `perl-reversion`, which can bump anything that looks like a version number in a script. I use that script to bump the version when releasing a module. Likely, it wants a line `$VERSION= '1.0.3';` [download] in your script to determine the version, instead of what you have now.
