Hi Monks!
I have a program that goes into a specific directory and list all my Perl files with its CVS version and also all the Perl modules used by the scripts. I would like to also include the modules "version" it finds, like if my Perl file uses XML::DOM, print the version like: "XML::DOM v1.44".
I found this code that can be a good start. My question is how could I pass a Perl module at the time to this code to get the modules's version printed on the screen instead of printing all the modules it finds?
Here is the code:
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
#use feature qw(:5.12);

use ExtUtils::Installed;
use Module::CoreList;
use Module::Info;

my $inst  = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
my $count = 0;
my %modules;

foreach ( $inst->modules() ) {
    next if m/^[[:lower:]]/;    # skip pragmas
    next if $_ eq 'Perl';       # core modules aren't present in this 
+list,
                                # instead coming under the name Perl
    my $version = $inst->version($_);
    $version = $version->stringify if ref $version; # version may be r
+eturned as
                                                    # a version object
    $modules{$_} = { name => $_, version => $version };
    $count++;
}

foreach ( Module::CoreList->find_modules() ) {
    next if m/^[[:lower:]]/;    # skip pragmas
    my $module = Module::Info->new_from_module($_) or next;
    $modules{$_} = { name => $_, version => $module->version // q(???)
+ };
    $count++;
}

foreach ( sort keys %modules ) {
    print "$_ v$modules{$_}{version}\n";
}

print"\nModules: $count\n";

__END__
