The main goal is to get as much version informations as possible about a module or module list with a simple call interface and an absolutely flexible result interface. Module::Versions handles *loaded* and *loadable* modules.The motivation for writing this module was the need for better support facilities to get informations about the used modules and versions in the productivity environment. Module::Versions allows shipping applications basically with something like a '-version' option (See Getopt::Long) but with expanded functions.Module::Versions tries to read the loaded/loadable module's $VERSION. For extended purposes any private project 'version variables' can be fetched ($_VERSION, $version, $REV, etc.).Module::Versions has a flexible result interface to satisfy different needs: results can be lists and data structures with different formats - pre-formed ARRAY, HASH, SCALAR, CSV, XML/XSD/DTD and a full flexible user callback interface.It is for example very simple to print a good formatted version list to the console and save a version.xml file (in conjunction with an xsd-schema) at the same time with an absolutely minimum of coding (SYNOPSIS, Pretty Compact) .Module::Versions tries to load 'version.pm' to support Perl 5.10.0's $VERSION formatting.
