in thread Finding Module Versions - How Would You Do It?

Oh yes, I suppose I should have mentioned p5u, given that I wrote it. Sample output:

$ p5u v LWP::UserAgent
LWP::UserAgent
    /home/tai/.perlbrew/libs/perl-5.16.2@default/lib/perl5/LWP/UserAge
+nt.pm: 6.04

Or show the versions available on the CPAN:

$ p5u v -c LWP::UserAgent

Let's check if our currently installed version of LWP::UserAgent is reliable...

$ p5u testers -v 6.04 libwww-perl
CPAN Testers results for libwww-perl version 6.04
