In the following code, it is the version number is defined
by the constant pragma,
and all package variables of the form our $package::VERSION
refer to the constant function which is inherited by default.
In this way, all normal queries for version information get the same
number from the same source. Is this what you wanted?
package Person;
use constant VERSION => '5.0';
our $VERSION=VERSION;
package American;
use base 'Person';
our $VERSION=__PACKAGE__->VERSION;
package main;
use American;
print 'version=', $Person::VERSION;
print 'version=', $American::VERSION;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
