NAME

       pmvers - print out a module's version

DESCRIPTION

       Given one or more module names, show the version number if present.  If more than one argument is given, the name of the module will also
       be printed.  Not all modules define version numbers, however.

EXAMPLES

	   $ pmvers CGI
	   2.46

	   $ pmvers IO::Socket Text::Parsewords
	   IO::Socket: 1.25
	   Text::ParseWords: 3.1

	   $ oldperl -S pmvers CGI
	   2.42

	   $ filsperl -S pmvers CGI
	   2.46

	   $ pmvers Devel::Loaded
	   pmvers: unknown version for module `Devel::Loaded'

NAME

       pmdesc - print out version and whatis description of perl modules

DESCRIPTION

       Given one or more module names, show the version number (if known) and the `whatis' line, that is, the NAME section's description,
       typically used for generation whatis databases.

EXAMPLES

	   $ pmdesc IO::Socket
	   IO::Socket (1.25) - Object interface to socket communications

	   $ oldperl pmdesc IO::Socket
	   IO::Socket (1.1603) - Object interface to socket communications

	   $ pmdesc `pminst -s | perl -lane 'print $F[1] if $F[0] =~ /site/'`
	   XML::Parser::Expat (2.19) - Lowlevel access to James Clark's expat XML parser
	   XML::Parser (2.19) - A perl module for parsing XML documents

RESTRICTIONS

       This only works on modules.  It should also work on filenames, but then it's a bit tricky finding out the package to call the VERSION
       method on.
