Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion - add a $VERSION to your packages

VERSION
version 4.300016

SYNOPSIS
in dist.ini

  [PkgVersion]

DESCRIPTION
This plugin will add lines like the following to each package in each Perl module or program (more or less) within the distribution:

  {
    $MyModule::VERSION = 0.001;
  }

...where 0.001 is the version of the dist, and MyModule is the name of the package being given a version. (In other words, it always uses fully-qualified names to assign versions.)

It will skip any package declaration that includes a newline between the "package" keyword and the package name, like:

  package
    Foo::Bar;

This sort of declaration is also ignored by the CPAN toolchain, and is typically used when doing monkey patching or other tricky things.
