Why are you trying to get the version of the module? Do you need this from within a program, do you just need the number to pass to another operation, or are you just trying to find out what you have? I wrote a small script to report that:. This is a simple little tool that tells you what version of a module you have installed, and where the.pm file is located. It also ensures the module can be loaded successfully. It automatically converts ‘-’, ‘/’, or ‘ ’ to ‘::’, so you can use a pathname or distribution name instead of the canonical module name.

Configuring

It assumes that the module defines a $VERSION. If the module doesn't define a $VERSION, it will still tell you where the.pm file is, so you can examine it manually. You can also check several modules at once: $ perlver CPAN DBD-Pg Getopt::Long CPAN 1.7602 is /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN.pm DBD::Pg 1.49 is /usr/lib/perl5/vendorperl/5.8.8/i686-linux/DBD/Pg.pm Getopt::Long 2.36 is /usr/lib/perl5/vendorperl/5.8.8/Getopt/Long.pm.
