I don't think all caps for VERSION is necessary. I would suggest that in fact, the exact opposite is called for - consider it a pragma. First you need a "version.pm" which does nothing but set $VERSION. Then your code can go in version::RCS to extract it from the RCS revision info. use version 1.0; # sets $VERSION to 1.0 use version::RCS "$Revision$" # extracts from RCS revision While version::CVS would be identical to version::RCS, it may still be useful to put a stub CVS file in the distribution that simply inherits from the RCS module. I would suggest bundling it with version::RCS in the same tarball though. --Bill. -- William R Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
