Re: Win32 Fileversion info from .exe/.dll-files (16/32-bit)

[PodMaster]

This one works on win32 systems ;)

use Win32::File::Ver;
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(
    GetFileVersion("$ENV{WINDIR}\\System32\\rundll32.exe")
);
__END__
$VAR1 = {

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

Thanks for your tip!

The reason I choose the no-module approach was that I needed to distribute this script to a few machines where the possibility to install the entire Perl dist would be to troublesome.

But if I'd be using it at home, I'd be using the module. ;-)
