No, it is not CVS. This is the way it was in the Astro::Sunrise module I can't remember where I got it from.
$VERSION = (qw$Revision: 0.01 $)[1];
Thanks John!! I have changed the module to use this syntax
Except that if you are not using CVS, there is no reason to do it at all. Just use
$VERSION = "0.01";
instead; the "$Revision: 9.99 $" stuff is the allow CVS to automatically increment the revision when you commit a new version to the repository. It has no functionality at all outside of CVS.
