Module::InstalledVersion - Find out what version of a module is installed
use Module::InstalledVersion; my $m = new Module::InstalledVersion 'Foo::Bar'; print "Version is $m->{version}\n"; print "Directory is $m->{dir}\n";
This module finds out what version of another module is installed, without running that module. It uses the same regexp technique used by Extutils::MakeMaker for figuring this out.
Note that it won't work if the module you're looking at doesn't set $VERSION properly. This is true of far too many CPAN modules.
