NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::OurPkgVersion - no line insertion and does Package version with our VERSION version 0.1.4 SYNOPSIS in dist.ini [OurPkgVersion] in your modules # VERSION DESCRIPTION This module was created as an alternative to Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion and uses some code from that module. This module is designed to use a the more readable format "our $VERSION = $version;" as well as not change then number of lines of code in your files, which will keep your repository more in sync with your CPAN release. It also allows you slightly more freedom in how you specify your version. EXAMPLES in dist.ini ... version = 0.01; [OurPkgVersion] in lib/My/Module.pm package My::Module; # VERSION ... output lib/My/Module.pm package My::Module; our $VERSION = 0.01;# VERSION ... please note that whitespace before the comment is significant so package My::Module; BEGIN { # VERSION } ... becomes package My::Module; BEGIN { our $VERSION = 0.01;# VERSION } ... while package My::Module; BEGIN { # VERSION } ... becomes package My::Module; BEGIN { our $VERSION = 0.01;# VERSION } ... Also note, the package line is not in any way significant, it will insert the "our $VERSION" line anywhere in the file before "# VERSION" as many times as you've written "# VERSION" regardless of whether or not inserting it there is a good idea. OurPkgVersion will not insert a version unless you have "# VERSION" so it is a bit more work. METHODS munge_files Override the default provided by Dist::Zilla::Role::FileMunger to limit the number of files to search to only be modules and executables. munge_file tells which files to munge, see Dist::Zilla::Role::FileMunger AUTHOR Caleb Cushing COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is Copyright (c) 2010 by Caleb Cushing.
