Native Rust implementation built into the interpreter. Runtime: P5. See original documentation for the full Perl reference.

bool

import

called by use version.

Sets up the version stash and overload table. vutil.c:VERSION (the export function).

is_alpha

true if alpha/dev version (underscore).

vutil.c: checks “alpha” key in hash.

is_lax

check if valid lax version string.

is_qv

true if dotted-decimal form.

vutil.c: checks “qv” key in hash.

is_strict

vutil.c:vnumify
