NAME
ex::newest - look for newest versions of modules installed several times
SYNOPSIS
use ex::newest;
use My::Module; # Load newest version present
no ex::newest;
DESCRIPTION
With this pragma, when you try to load a module with use or require, all directories specified in @INC will be searched for occurences of this module, and the most recent version found will be loaded.
The versions of the installed modules are computed by using ExtUtils::MM_Unix::parse_version.
BUGS
Doesn't work when @INC contains hooks. More generally, you shouldn't manipulate @INC directly when using this module, unless you know what you're doing.
