);DESCRIPTION
App::newver::Version is a module for comparing version strings. This is a private module, please consult the newver manual for user documentation.
App::newver::Version adapts most of its logic from libversion. This module can handle pre-release version components (alpha, beta, rc, etc.), post-release version components (post, patch, errata, pl, etc.), and normal numerical versions.

$r = version_compare($v1, $v2)
Compares two version strings and returns 1 if $v1 $v2>, -1 if $v1 < $v2, and 0 if $v1 == $v2.
@components = version_components($version)
