=head1 NAME

copyright.t

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Tests that the latest copyright years in the top-level README file and the
C<perl -v> output match each other.

If the test fails, update at least one of README and perl.c so that they match
reality.

Optionally you can pass the C<--now> option to check they are at the current
year. This isn't checked by default, so that it doesn't fail for people
working on older releases. It should be run before making a new release.
