[Classiccity-pm] Checking version of an installed module?

[Keith Ledford]

perl -M<module> -e 'print $<module>::VERSION;'

ex. perl -MXML::Parser -e 'print $XML::Parser::VERSION ."\n";'

To see what modules have a newer version available:
perl -e 'use CPAN; CPAN::Shell->r'

HTH!

P.S. The person that works for my was just doing this very thing.
