Checking versions on the command line

[David Morel]

Hi,

What are the command lines that you use to check the version of perl
you have, and to check the version of a particular module? Thanks.

What are the command lines that you use to check the version of perl
you have,

perl --version

and to check the version of a particular module?

Include the module, and output its $VERSION package variable:

perl -mLWP::Simple -e 'print $LWP::Simple::VERSION'
