%description
Perl::Version provides a simple interface for parsing, manipulating and
formatting Perl version strings.

Unlike version.pm (which concentrates on parsing and comparing version
strings) Perl::Version is designed for cases where you'd like to parse a
version, modify it and get back the modified version formatted like the
original.

For example:

my $version = Perl::Version->new( '1.2.3' );
    $version->inc_version;
    print "$version\n";

prints

1.3.0

whereas

my $version = Perl::Version->new( 'v1.02.03' );
    $version->inc_version;
    print "$version\n";

prints

v1.03.00

Both are representations of the same version and they'd compare equal but
their formatting is different.

Perl::Version tries hard to guess and recreate the format of the original
version and in most cases it succeeds. In rare cases the formatting is
ambiguous. Consider

1.10.03

Do you suppose that second component '10' is zero padded like the third
component? Perl::Version will assume that it is:

my $version = Perl::Version->new( '1.10.03' );
    $version->inc_revision;
    print "$version\n";

will print

2.00.00

If all of the components after the first are the same length (two
characters in this case) and any of them begins with a zero Perl::Version
will assume that they're all zero padded to the same length.

The first component and any alpha suffix are handled separately. In each
case if either of them starts with a zero they will be zero padded to the
same length when stringifying the version.

Version Formats
    Perl::Version supports a few different version string formats.

*  1, 1.2

Versions that look like a number. If you pass a numeric value its
      string equivalent will be parsed:

my $version = Perl::Version->new( 1.2 );
          print "$version\n";

prints

1.2

In fact there is no special treatment for versions that resemble
      decimal numbers. This is worthy of comment only because it differs
      from version.pm which treats actual numbers used as versions as a
      special case and performs various transformations on the stored
      version.

*  1.2.3, 1.2.3.4

Simple versions with three or more components.

*  v1.2.3

Versions with a leading 'v'.

*  5.008006

Fielded numeric versions. You'll likely have seen this in relation to
      versions of Perl itself. If a version string has a single decimal
      point and the part after the point is three more more digits long
      components are extracted from each group of three digits in the
      fractional part.

For example

my $version = Perl::Version->new( 1.002003004005006 );
          print $version->normal;

prints

v1.2.3.4.5.6

* vstring

Perls later than 5.8.1 support vstring format. A vstring looks like a
      number with more than one decimal point and (optionally) a leading
      'v'. The 'v' is mandatory for vstrings containing fewer than two
      decimal points.

Perl::Version will successfully parse vstrings

my $version = Perl::Version->new( v1.2 );
          print "$version\n";

prints

v1.2

Note that stringifying a Perl::Version constructed from a vstring
      will result in a regular string. Because it has no way of knowing
      whether the vstring constant had a 'v' prefix it always generates one
      when stringifying back to a version string.

* CVS version

A common idiom for users of CVS is to use keyword replacement to
      generate a version automatically like this:

$VERSION = version->new( qw$Revision: 2.7 $ );

Perl::Version does the right thing with such versions so that

my $version = Perl::Version->new( qw$Revision: 2.7 $ );
          $version->inc_revision;
          print "$version\n";

prints

Revision: 3.0

Real Numbers
        Real numbers are stringified before parsing. This has two
        implications: trailing zeros after the decimal point will be lost
        and any underscore characters in the number are discarded.

Perl allows underscores anywhere in numeric constants as an aid to
        formatting. These are discarded when Perl converts the number into
        its internal format. This means that

# Numeric version
            print Perl::Version->new( 1.001_001 )->stringify;

prints

1.001001

but

# String version
            print Perl::Version->new( '1.001_001' )->stringify;

prints

1.001_001

as expected.

In general you should probably avoid versions expressed either as
        decimal numbers or vstrings. The safest option is to pass a regular
        string to Perl::Version->new().

Alpha Versions
        By convention if a version string has suffix that consists of an
        underscore followed by one or more digits it represents an alpha or
        developer release. CPAN treats modules with such version strings
        specially to reflect their alpha status.

This alpha notation is one reason why using decimal numbers as
        versions is a bad idea. Underscore is a valid character in numeric
        constants which is discarded by Perl when a program's source is
        parsed so any intended alpha suffix will become part of the version
        number.

To be considered alpha a version must have a non-zero alpha
        component like this

3.0.4_001

Generally the alpha component will be formatted with leading zeros
        but this is not a requirement.

Component Naming
    A version number consists of a series of components. By Perl convention
    the first three components are named 'revision', 'version' and
    'subversion':

$ perl -V
        Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 6) configuration:
        
        (etc)

Perl::Version follows that convention. Any component may be accessed by
    passing a number from 0 to N-1 to the the component manpage or the
    increment manpage but for convenience the first three components are
    aliased as the revision manpage, the version manpage and the subversion
    manpage.

$version->increment( 0 );

is the same as

$version->inc_revision;

and

my $subv = $version->subversion;

is the same as

my $subv = $version->component( 2 );

The alpha component is named 'alpha'.

Comparison with version.pm
    If you're familiar with version.pm you'll notice that there's a certain
    amount of overlap between what it does and this module. I originally
    created this module as a mutable subclass of version.pm but the
    requirement to be able to reformat a modified version to match the
    formatting of the original didn't sit well with version.pm's internals.

As a result this module is not dependent or based on version.pm.
