Re: VERSION section in POD

I use perl-reversion for my modules. I usually just -bump the VERSION and it happens everywhere, I just have not to forget to commit the changes.

I still feel there must be a better way (see for example line 27 of Makefile.PL here, it's ugly). There's the third place where you need the version!

++Thanks for asking the question.

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

Thanks for pointing out perl-reversion, it's worth trying/considering as a substitute of my munging process. Re the third place, that part is actually taken care automatically by Dist::Zilla or Milla, so that is not a problem in my context. These tools are amazing at freeing my mind from most of the workflow! I get it that you also value a `VERSION` section in the POD. I wonder how useful/used it is though? perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf Io ho capito... ma tu che hai detto?	[reply] [d/l]

Interesting. I couldn't help but notice that perl-reversion is not versioned in the source or POD. Maybe that is the right approach?	[reply]

It's just an example script in the Perl::Version distribution, whose main module is versioned in both the code and pod. ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l]
