=head1 NAME

Perl::MinimumVersion - Find a minimum required version of perl for Perl code

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Create the version checking object
  $object = Perl::MinimumVersion->new( $filename );
  $object = Perl::MinimumVersion->new( \$source  );
  $object = Perl::MinimumVersion->new( $ppi_document );

  # Find the minimum version
  $version = $object->minimum_version;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Perl::MinimumVersion> takes Perl source code and calculates the minimum
version of perl required to be able to run it. Because it is based on
L<PPI>, it can do this without having to actually load the code.

Currently it tests both the syntax of your code, and the use of explicit
version dependencies such as C<require 5.005>.

Future plans are to also add support for tracing module dependencies.

Using C<Perl::MinimumVersion> is dead simple, the synopsis pretty much
covers it.

The distribution comes with a script called L<perlver>,
which is the easiest way to run C<Perl::MinimumVersion> on your code:

 % perlver lib/Foo/Bar.pm

See the L<documentation for perlver|perlver> for more details.

# Constructor

=pod

=head2 new

  # Create the version checking object
  $object = Perl::MinimumVersion->new( $filename );
  $object = Perl::MinimumVersion->new( \$source  );
  $object = Perl::MinimumVersion->new( $ppi_document );

The C<new> constructor creates a new version checking object for a
L<PPI::Document>. You can also provide the document to be read as a
file name, or as a C<SCALAR> reference containing the code.

Returns a new C<Perl::MinimumVersion> object, or C<undef> on error.

=cut

sub new {
	my $class    = ref $_[0] ? ref shift : shift;
	my $Document = _Document(shift) or return undef;

	my $self = bless {

The C<Document> accessor can be used to get the L<PPI::Document> object
back out of the version checker.

# Main Methods

=pod

=head2 minimum_version

The C<minimum_version> method is the primary method for finding the
minimum perl version required based on C<all> factors in the document.

At the present time, this is just syntax and explicit version checks,
as L<Perl::Depends> is not yet completed.

Returns a L<version> object, or C<undef> on error.

=cut

	my $self    = _SELF(\@_) or return undef;
	my $minimum = $self->{default}; # Sensible default

	# Is the explicit version greater?
	my $explicit = $self->minimum_explicit_version;
	return undef unless defined $explicit;
	if ( $explicit and $explicit > $minimum ) {
		$minimum = $explicit;
	}

	# Is the syntax version greater?
	# Since this is the most expensive operation (for this file),
	# we need to be careful we don't run things we don't need to.
	my $syntax = $self->minimum_syntax_version;
	return undef unless defined $syntax;
	if ( $syntax and $syntax > $minimum ) {
		$minimum = $syntax;
	}

	### FIXME - Disabled until minimum_external_version completed
	# Is the external version greater?

=pod

=head2 minimum_explicit_version

The C<minimum_explicit_version> method checks through Perl code for the
use of explicit version dependencies such as.

  use 5.006;
  require 5.005_03;

Although there is almost always only one of these in a file, if more than
one are found, the highest version dependency will be returned.

Returns a L<version> object, false if no dependencies could be found,
or C<undef> on error.

=cut

	my $self   = _SELF(\@_) or return undef;
	my $reason = $self->minimum_explicit_reason(@_);

		}
	}

	return Perl::MinimumVersion::Reason->new(
		rule    => 'explicit',
		version => $max,
		element => $element,
	);
}

=pod

=head2 minimum_syntax_version $limit

The C<minimum_syntax_version> method will explicitly test only the
Document's syntax to determine it's minimum version, to the extent
that this is possible.

It takes an optional parameter of a L<version> object defining the
the lowest known current value. For example, if it is already known
that it must be 5.006 or higher, then you can provide a param of
qv(5.006) and the method will not run any of the tests below this
version. This should provide dramatic speed improvements for
large and/or complex documents.

The limitations of parsing Perl mean that this method may provide
artifically low results, but should not artificially high results.

For example, if C<minimum_syntax_version> returned 5.006, you can be
confident it will not run on anything lower, although there is a chance
that during actual execution it may use some untestable feature that
creates a dependency on a higher version.

Returns a L<version> object, false if no dependencies could be found,
or C<undef> on error.

	my $self   = _SELF(\@_) or return undef;

This method returns a list of pairs in the form:

Each pair represents all the markers that could be found indicating that the

Currently, these strings are not as clear as they might be, but this may be
changed in the future.  In other words: don't rely on them as specific
identifiers.

=head1 BUGS

B<Perl::MinimumVersion> does a reasonable job of catching the best-known
explicit version dependencies.

B<However> it is exceedingly easy to add a new syntax check, so if you
find something this is missing, copy and paste one of the existing
5 line checking functions, modify it to find what you want, and report it
to rt.cpan.org, along with the version needed.

I don't even need an entire diff... just the function and version.

=head1 TO DO

B<Write lots more version checkers>

- Perl 5.10 operators and language structures

- Three-argument open

B<Write the explicit version checker>

B<Write the recursive module descend stuff>

_while_readdir for postfix while without brackets

B<Check for more 5.12 features (currently only detecting
C<package NAME VERSION;>, C<...>, and C<use feature ':5.12'>)>
