=head1 NAME

Dpkg::Version - pure-Perl dpkg-style version comparison

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Dpkg::Version module provides pure-Perl routines to compare
dpkg-style version numbers, as used in Debian packages. If you have the
libapt-pkg Perl bindings available (Debian package libapt-pkg-perl), they
may offer better performance.

=item vercmp

Compare the two arguments as dpkg-style version numbers. Returns -1 if the
first argument represents a lower version number than the second, 1 if the
first argument represents a higher version number than the second, and 0 if
the two arguments represent equal version numbers.
