grinnz / app-rewriteversion Goto Github PK

Thank you for this tool - I have recently started using perl-bump-version in my development (e.g., blatant plug :) ). I tripped over the -t option to perl-bump-version just now because it doesn't actually affect the version. The synopsis for perl-bump-version says that -t will "mark version as a trial version". I thought that meant it would add an underscore or -TRIAL marker. However, as the docs for App::RewriteVersion point out, that's not what is_trial does.

Would you be willing to add a new option that will, in addition to adding # TRIAL to the source code, also add -TRIAL (or bump to -TRIAL1 &c.) to the contents of $VERSION? E.g.:

• 0.001001 -> 0.001001-TRIAL when run with the new option
• 0.001001 -> 0.001002 as usual when run without the new option
• 0.001001-TRIAL -> 0.001001-TRIAL1 -> 0.001001-TRIAL2 ... when run with the new option
• 0.001001-TRIAL (or -TRIALn for any n =~ /\d+/) -> 0.001002 when run without the new option

Thank you for considering this request!

Declaring a package version in the package statement has been supported since perl 5.12, we should support modifying those versions. Also potential "class NAME VERSION" would be easy to additionally support.
