NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::WriteVersion

DESCRIPTION

Overwrites version numbers in .pm-files, based on Dist::Zilla::Plugin::RewriteVersion this is needed for cpan to understand the installed version number after being installed.

Takes a version number from wherever it was generated from and overwrites it to each perl file and script to

  our $VERSION = '0.004';

The placeholder must be present in the file, otherwise the overwrite will fail.
