NAME
   version::dev - Set $VERSION based on version from git tags

VERSION
   This document describes version 0.001 of version::dev (from Perl
   distribution version-dev), released on 2019-04-14.

SYNOPSIS
   In lib/MyModule.pm you work on (you're using Dist::Zilla and a plugin
   like Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PkgVersion or
   Dist::Zilla::Plugin::OurPkgVersion):

    package MyModule;
    # VERSION
    ...

   Your git tags:

    % git tag
    v0.003
    v0.002
    v0.001

   When running script that uses your module:

    % perl -Ilib -Mversion::dev -MMyModule E'...'

   $MyModule::VERSION will be set to "0.003_001" (if not already set).

DESCRIPTION
   Sometimes you do not explicitly set $VERSION in the module source code
   that you're working on. For example, you're using Dist::Zilla with a
   plugin that will set $VERSION during build, so only your built version
   of modules will have their $VERSION set. Wen working with the unbuilt
   version, this sometimes creates problem or annoyances when other modules
   or other code expect your module to set $VERSION.

   This pragma solves that annoyances. It installs a require hook that will
   check if the module being loaded is: 1) inside the working directory;
   and 2) the module's package does not have $VERSION set.

   If the conditions are met, then first it will: 1) execute "git tag" to
   list tags that look like a version number; 2) grab the most recent
   version; 3) bump the version's dev part, e.g. v1.1 becomes v1.1_001 and
   v1.1_001 becomes v1.1_002; 3) set the module's package $VERSION with
   this version.
