While checking if the versions of all the modules are as required in our installation I am using the following one liner to fetch the version numbers.
perl -MModule -e'print $Module::VERSION' Some of the modules print extra error messages and some print only error messages. I have sent e-mail to the respective module authors reporting this issue but I wonder if it would this a good practice in the genric case. Is there a Test module that test just the above? Is the a CPANST score one can get if all the modules in a distro provide the correct version information and if they don't print anything else to STDOUT or STDERR. Gabor
