NAME

Fedora::VSP - Perl version normalization for RPM

DESCRIPTION

This module provides functions for normalizing Perl version strings for Red Hat Package (RPM) based Linux distributions.

RPM version format and semantics is similar to Perl version strings (vX.Y.Z). But to exactly. Older Perl's fraction version format (X.YZ) is incompatible with RPM.

This is an effort to map Perl version strings to RPM version strings.

FUNCTIONS

vsp(STRING, SHORT)

Convert a version value into version string format. The output value is stripped from the leading "v" symbol.

If conversion fails, "undef" will be returned.

Empty or undefined string will be normalized to "undef".

If SHORT is true, the returned version string will be shortened by cutting trailing zero groups. If no digit would remain, "undef" will be returned. This feature ephases brevity.
