in reply to package name?

There is a CPAN module out there Module::InstalledVersion :-)
From the SYNOPSIS: 
use Module::InstalledVersion;
my $m = new Module::InstalledVersion 'Foo::Bar';
print "Version is $m->{version}\n";
print "Directory is $m->{dir}\n";

[download]
And not to forget (as I did in the first try), to find any information about a module, use Module::Info

    I tried Module::Info, but apparently the name retrieval when using Module::Info's new_from_file constructor does not work. I have sent two patches to the author fixing the name and dir part, but I don't think they will be accepted.

      Just to recap, My patches were not accepted by the author of Module::Info, so I have made a class/module inheriting from Module::Info called Module::Info::File. It only holds one method called new_from_file and implements my patches, it is available now from a CPAN mirror near you.
