Mojolic...:version(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Mojolicious::Command::version — the Version command, bestie. That's it, that's the whole name, and it's iconic.

Also hey, quick vibe check before we start: this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, and yes, we're calling it Mojolic...:version(3) because the header line got truncated by the terminal and honestly? relatable. Moving on. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Usage: APPLICATION version [OPTIONS]

  mojo version

Options:
  -h, --help   Show this summary of available options

So there's literally one option: -h, --help, and it just shows you this summary of available options. Self-aware king. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so Mojolicious::Command::version shows version information for available core and optional modules. That's the whole gig. You run it, it tells you what versions you're working with, no cap. 🔥

This is a core command, which means two things, and both are lowkey a slay:

• It's always enabled — you can't turn it off, it's main character energy, permanently on the roster. 💅
• Its code is a genuinely good example for learning to build new commands, so like... go read it? You're welcome to fork it. The author said that, not me. 🫶

Also, see "COMMANDS" in Mojolicious::Commands for a list of commands that are available by default — the full squad, iykyk.

🦋 ATTRIBUTES 🦋

Mojolicious::Command::version inherits all attributes from Mojolicious::Command — so everything the parent has, she has too, it's giving nepo baby but make it inheritance — and implements the following new ones.

💜 description

my $description = $v->description;
$v              = $v->description('Foo');

Short description of this command, used for the command list. So like, the little one-liner blurb that shows up in the menu. Set it, get it, live your life. ✨

💜 usage

my $usage = $v->usage;
$v        = $v->usage('Foo');

Usage information for this command, used for the help screen. This is the thing that pops up when someone hits -h and goes "wait what does this do". 🧚

⭐ METHODS ⭐

Signing off from the User Contributed Perl Documentation desk 🎀 — this page shipped with perl v5.42.0, dated 2026-07-15, and the header's out here looking like Mojolic...:version(3) because truncation said "not today". Byeee! 💖✨
