Debbugs::Versions::Dpkg - pure-Perl dpkg-style version comparison
Contents
Description
The Debbugs::Versions::Dpkg module provides pure-Perl routines to compare dpkg-style version numbers, as
used in Debian packages. If you have the libapt-pkg Perl bindings available (Debian package libapt-pkg-
perl), they may offer better performance.
Methods
vercmp Compare the two arguments as dpkg-style version numbers. Returns -1 if the first argument
represents a lower version number than the second, 1 if the first argument represents a higher
version number than the second, and 0 if the two arguments represent equal version numbers.
