Description: versioninfo.pl - This small program reads the version information of a Win32 PE/COFF executable and dumps the embedded version string.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# Simple program to extract and dump the version information from a PE
+/COFF file
# (mostly for Win32 executables, crude implementation)
#
# I use this program to automagically create ZIP files with the right
# filename depending on the version of the executable packaged in them
+.
# Of course it would be (under Win32) better to question the version A
+PI about
# the file version, but I am lazy and this is even cross-platform like
+ that :)
#
# The whole thing could be made into a module, but again, I wrote this
+ thing as
# a one-off script and only use it in one place...
#
# This code was written for Perl 5.005 and thus dosen't use
# the new (and not completely ironed out) Unicode features
# of Perl 5.6.

sub MakeUnicode {
  my ($S) = @_;
  $S =~ s/(.)/$1\x00/g;
  return $S;
};

sub MakeASCII {
  my ($S) = @_;
  $S =~ s/(.)\x00/$1/g;
  return $S;
};

# This is the routine that actually reads the version information into
+ a hash
sub dumpfile {
  my ($Filename) = @_;
  my $SearchString = "......" . MakeUnicode("StringFileInfo") .
                     "(?:\x00\x00)+((..)..\x00\x00(?:[0-9A-F]\x00)+?(?
+:\x00\x00)+?)". "(.*)";
