NAME

ShipIt::Step::ChangePodVersion - Keep VERSION in your Pod in sync with $VERSION

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

Just add it to the ShipIt config, maybe after the ChangeVersion-Step

    steps = FindVersion, ChangeVersion, ChangePodVersion, CheckChangeLog, ...

And make sure you have a VERSION or at least a NAME section in your Pod.

    =head1 VERSION

    version 123

DESCRIPTION

This is a Step for ShipIt to keep your Pod VERSION in sync with your $VERSION. If a VERSION section is discovered in your Pod, it is tried to find and replace numbers or "." or "_" within this section with your new version.

You can write whatever you want before your version-number, but make sure it does not contain numbers or "." or "_".

In case no VERSION section is found, a VERSION section is created after the NAME section. If no NAME section is found, we die.

By default all your modules' Pod VERSION sections are updated to the files' $VERSION. Add ChangePodVersion.all to your shipit config and set it to 0 to change only the Pod of your distribution package.

In case no $VERSION is found in your package, we don't die, but continue with other packages.

CONFIG

ChangePodVersion.all

DEFAULT 1

Set this config value to 0 to deactivate VERSION Changes for all your dists modules. Only the dist-packages' Pod VERSION will be changed then.

WARNING

The code to change all Modules' Pod VERSION is not automatically tested yet, because it is hard to write tests for it. I use it with HTTP::Exception now and didn't notice any problems, although automatic testing is better than having not experienced any problems. If you encounter problems, just deactivate it with ChangePodVersion.all = 0 and drop me an email.
