Pod::R...ersion(3pm)

💖 Pod::Readme::Plugin::version — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, quick vibe check: this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual universe, and it's filed under Pod::Readme::Plugin::version (3pm). She's a plugin, she's tiny, she's iconic, and she has ONE job. Let's get into it. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::Readme::Plugin::version — literally just here to put the version in your README. that's it. that's the whole personality. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

drop this line into your pod and you're done:

=for readme plugin version

no cap, that's the whole invocation. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like — this is a plugin for Pod::Readme, right? and its entire main character moment is: it includes the release version. that's it. that's the assignment. it ate and left no crumbs. ⭐

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

💜 "file"

=for readme plugin version file='lib/My/App.pm'

okay so by default, she pulls the version from the very same file that the README is being extracted from. periodt. but if the version you want lives in a different file? then you gotta say so. specify it. tell her where to look. she's not a mind reader bestie 😭

💜 "title"

=for readme plugin version title='VERSION'

this argument lets you change the title of the heading. that's literally it — you get to rename the lil heading, you little branding genius you. ✨

---

🌈 a lil sign-off 🌈

and that's the whole page!! no options list, no env vars, no exit statuses, no drama — just a version, a file, and a heading title. lowkey obsessed. 💖

this beauty shipped as part of perl v5.28.0, dated 2018-11-26, and yes she is still serving. mwah. 🍓🧚💜
