Version::Util - Version-number utilities

This document describes version 0.731 of Version::Util (from Perl distribution Version-Util), released on 2018-06-10.

This module provides several convenient functions related to version numbers, e.g. for comparing them.

Equivalent to:

 version->parse($v1) <=> version->parse($v2)

Add $increment to version $v. Both increment and version must match:

 /\Av?\d{1,3}(?:\.\d{1,3}){0,2}\z/

so trial/dev releases like "v1.2.3_1" are not currently supported. Some examples:

 0.1 + 0.1 -> 0.2
 0.01 + 0.001 -> 0.011
 0.01 + 0.1 -> 0.11
 0.9 + 0.1 -> 1.0
 0.99 + 0.1 -> 1.09
 1.1.0 + 0.0.1 -> 1.1.1

Subtract $decrement from version $v. This is the reverse operation for "add_version".

Will die if the result is negative.
