1version 0.9929 2================================== 3 4Object oriented versions for all Perl releases from 5.6.2 onward. Replaces 5the core version code for all Perl releases from 5.10.0 onwards. 6 7Although this code has been fully integrated into the latest Perl release 8itself (e.g. bleadperl), the CPAN release is considered upstream. The source 9code itself is available from: 10 11 https://github.com/Perl/version.pm 12 13and a bug queue here: 14 15 https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=version 16 17Patches welcomed. 18 19IMPORTANT NOTE - 0.9906 is the last release that fully supports Perl 20releases prior to 5.6.2. It is just too much trouble to continue to 21fight to maintain full backward compatibility. 22 23YOU SHOULD INSTALL THIS RELEASE WHEN USING VERSION OBJECTS IN PERL 5.10.0. 24There was a bug caused by objects serialized by YAML that will cause Perl 255.10.0 to segfault. As long as some module calls 'use version', then the 26replacement code will take effect and Perl will not crash. 27 28Please read the POD documentation for usage/details. See the CHANGES file 29for full details of all changes to the module behavior. 30 31INSTALLATION 32 33To install this module type the following: 34 35 $ perl Makefile.PL 36 $ make 37 $ make test 38 # make install 39 40This release includes an optional pure Perl implementation (in case 41you don't have a C-compiler or if some reason you want your code to be 42much slower). You can test it by replacing the first line above with: 43 44 $ perl Makefile.PL --perl_only 45 46and it will install the Perl only version. 47 48DEPENDENCIES 49 50The same C compiler used to build Perl (or not). 51 52 53COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE 54 55This module can be distributed under the same terms as Perl. 56 57Copyright (C) 2004-2018 John Peacock 58 59
