README

       This script extracts module data from installed and uninstalled modules
       and script, targetting especially the version information.


DESCRIPTION

       The script takes either a module name (SEE SYNOPSIS), a path to a Perl
       module, script file or a directory.

       The script looks for a package definition and a version variable.

       The script is quite simple, the Module::Info::File and Mattia Barbon's
       Module::Info holds all the interesting stuff.

       In the beginning I was using Module::Info, but due to a lacking
       functionality in this module I created Module::Info::File, which
       inherits from Module::Info and replaces the new_from_file method so the
       lacking data can be accessed. Apart from that you can use all the neat
       accessors from Module::Info.

       The script gives to kinds of input depending on how it was called:

       For single modules, module og script files:

       <modulename> located in <directory location> is version: <versions
       number>

       Example:

       Test::More located in /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1 is version: 0.47

       Or when called with a directory as argument (one line per located
       module):

       <module name> <tab> <version number>

       Example:

       DBI;1.38 Irssi;0.9 Mysql;1.2401 Bundle::DBI;11.03
       Bundle::DBD::mysql;2.9002
