NAME

       Bio::Root::Version - provide global, distribution-level versioning

SYNOPSIS

	 package Bio::Tools::NiftyFeature;
	 require Bio::Root::RootI;

	 # later, in client code:
	 package main;
	 use Bio::Tools::NiftyFeature 3.14;

	 ## alternative usage: NiftyFeature defines own $VERSION:
	 package Bio::Tools::NiftyFeature;
	 my $VERSION = 9.8;

	 # later in client code:
	 package main;

	 # ensure we're using an up-to-date BioPerl distribution
	 use Bio::Perl 3.14;

	 # NiftyFeature has its own versioning scheme:
	 use Bio::Tools::NiftyFeature 9.8;

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a mechanism by which all other BioPerl modules can share the same $VERSION, without manually synchronizing each file.

       Bio::Root::RootI itself uses this module, so any module that directly (or indirectly) uses Bio::Root::RootI will get a global $VERSION
       variable set if it's not already.
