NAME
Pandoc::Version - version number of pandoc and its libraries
SYNOPSIS
$version = Pandoc::Version->new("1.17.2"); # create version
$version = bless [1,17,2], 'Pandoc::Version'; # equivalent
"$version"; # stringify to "1.17.2"
$version > 1.9; # compare
$version->[0]; # major
$version->[1]; # minor
$version->match('1.17'); # true for 1.17, 1.17.x, 1.17.x.y...DESCRIPTION
This module is used to store and compare version numbers of pandoc executable and Haskell libraries compiled into pandoc. A Pandoc::Version object is an array reference of one or more non-negative integer values.
In most cases there is no need to create Pandoc::Version objects by hand. Just use the instances returned by methods version and libs of module Pandoc and trust in overloading.
METHODS
string
Return a string representation of a version, for instance "1.17.0.4". This method is automatically called by overloading in string context.
number
Return a number representation of a version, for instance 1.017000004. This method is automatically called by overloading in number context.
cmp( $version )
Compare two version numbers. This is method is used automatically by overloading to compare version objects with strings or numbers (operators eq, lt, le, ge, ==, <, >, <=, and >=).
match( $version )
Return whether a version number matches another version number if cut to the same number of parts. For instance 1.2.3 matches 1, 1.2, and 1.2.3.
fulfills( $version_requirement )
Return whether a version number fullfills a version requirement, such as !=1.16, <=1.17. See "Version Ranges" in CPAN::Meta::Spec for possible values.
TO_JSON
Return an array reference of the version number to serialize in JSON format.

version is a similar module for Perl version numbers.
