Assuming the module has been properly installed then you should be able to do: `perl -MSomeModule -e'print $SomeModule::VERSION'` [download] Of course replacing 'SomeModule' with the name of the module that you want to find the version of. /J\	[reply] [d/l]

If you don't want to load the module then Module::Info can grep it out of the source in the same way CPAN does. It also has some convenience routines for dealing with sites that have modules installed more than once.	[reply]

Use variable $VERSION: `use Data::Dumper; print $Data::Dumper::VERSION; __DATA__ 2.12` [download] -------------------------------- SV* sv_bless(SV* sv, HV* stash);	[reply] [d/l]
