Re: Version of a Module

Hi Martin,

AFAIK you can only do this with hacks atm. It's different if the module is
installed or if you are in the source directory doing pelr6 -Ilib.

I do this in my own module here:

Version of a Module

[Martin Barth]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to repeat the question that I asked today on #perl6.
I am looking for a way to retrieve the version of a Perl6-Module from 
within the module itself.


 there is often a our $VERSION in perl5 modules. is this still 
idiomatic/a good way to go in perl6
 i think the version is meant to be part of the meta info and 
such?
 but that means the module itself does not know about its 
version, just e.g. zef does?
 i'm convinced there ought to be a way to get the full meta 
info from whatever installation your script was grabbed from

 but i don't know what or how
