How about ack '^\s*\$VERSION'? See App::ack.

Also, instead of using Excel, you might want to use sort and diff to find the differences between the machines.

Thanks. I will try and see if I can get that. App::Ack is not in my current PERL install. All I have in App is something called Prove. We have this weird convoluted process to get files from the Internet to the private systems.

App:Prove is part of the Test-Harness suite. Test::Harness itself has been bundled with Perl since Perl 5.0 (i.e. almost 20 years), but the App::Prove module is a later addition (since Perl 5.10.1).

Or just

grep 'VERSION' $(find . -name \*.pm -type f)

which uses standard Unix tools.
