Hi All,
Windows provides a utility called filever.exe which will
tell you the revision of and exe file. (You can also see this
through the gui with properties).
Currently I run filever.exe through Wine. It is cumbersome,
especially since Wine floods STDERR. I work around it.
Do we have a module for the file's version? If so, does
it run in Linux?
If not, does anyone know where the version information is
stored in and .exe file so I can write one myself?
Many thanks,

Well, I learned it is called "metadata". And that
Perl 5 has a module for it, but I can not figure out
from where they are reading the metadata:
