NAME
Module::Extract::DeclaredMinimumPerl - Extract the version of Perl a module declares
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Extract::DeclaredMinimumPerl;
my $extor = Module::Extract::DeclaredMinimumPerl->new;
my $version = $extor->get_minimum_declared_perl( $file );
if( $extor->error ) { ... }DESCRIPTION
Extract the largest declared Perl version and returns it as a version object. For instance, in a script you might have:
use v5.16;This module will extract that v5.16 and return it.
This module tries to handle any format that PPI will recognize, passing them through version.pm to normalize them.
- new
-
Makes an object. The object doesn't do anything just yet, but you need it to call the methods.
- init
-
Set up the object. You shouldn't need to call this yourself. You can override it though!
- get_minimum_declared_perl( FILE )
-
Extracts all of the declared minimum versions for Perl, sorts them, and returns the largest a version object.
- error
-
Return the error from the last call to
get_minimum_declared_perl.
TO DO
Make it recursive, so it scans the source for any module that it finds.
