G'day Tommy,

With older versions of Perl, I used to do:

$ perl -e 'use Test::More; print $Test::More::VERSION, "\n"' 0.98

With newer versions of Perl, I now use the slightly shorter:

$ perl -E 'use Test::More; say $Test::More::VERSION' 0.98

And to automate, using a selection of modules from your list, you could do something like:

$ module_list='Test::More English File::Find Test::Perl::Critic' $ for i in $module_list; do > echo $i > eval "echo \`perl -E 'use $i; say \$$i::VERSION'\`" > done Test::More 0.98 English 1.04 File::Find 1.19 Test::Perl::Critic 1.02
