NAME

BackPAN::Version::Discover - Figure out exactly which dist versions you have installed

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Please note: this module's interface is HIGHLY ALPHA, mainly because I want input from users on how they think it should work. Therefore, this is all subject to change, if only you *tell me what you want* :)

use BackPAN::Version::Discover;

my $bvd = BackPAN::Version::Discover->new();

# exclude relative dirs and anything under $HOME
my @dirs = grep { ! /^$ENV{HOME}|^[^\/]/ } @INC;

# this may take some time and use lots of ram and/or CPU
my $results = $bvd->scan( dirs => \@dirs );

# please let me know if the separate results object is good or bad.
my @releases = $results->release_paths();
my

SUBROUTINES/METHODS
