=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.

    return 1 if $version{epoch} > $refversion{epoch};

    my $r = verrevcmp($version{version}, $refversion{version});
    return $r if $r;
    return verrevcmp($version{revision}, $refversion{revision});
}

=item compare_versions

Emulates dpkg --compare-versions. Takes two versions as arguments
one and three and one operator as argument two. Supports the following
operators: 'gt', 'ge', 'eq', 'le', 'lt', and '>>', '>=', '=', '<=', '<<'.
Returns a true value if the specified condition is true, a false value
otherwise.

	return $res < 0;
    } else {

}

=item check_version($version)

Check the version string and fails it it's invalid.
