On a related note: How do folks handle letting Subversion integrate
here? I know you asked a question about Perl's $VERSION, but I've
seen folks integrate it with Subversion's Revision keyword.
I've seen an idiom like this. It needs to allow svn to replace
'$Revision$', but also be OK Perl that sets $VERSION, and can fit on
one line.
our($VERSION) = ('$Revision$' =~ m/Revision:\s*(\d+)/);
Any other idioms? What's your favorite?
Or don't you mix Version (e.g. 1.0, 1.1, 2.0) with revisions (2, 3, 4,
5)?
