DESCRIPTION

Add a --version argument to your program, eg

  use XMLTV::Version '$Id: Version.pm,v 1.3 2010/04/24 12:28:22 crispygoth Exp $';

If a --version parameter is supplied on the command-line, it will be caught already by the ``use'' statement, a message will be printed to STDOUT and the program will exit.

It is best to put the use XMLTV::Version statement before other module imports, so that even if they fail --version will still work.
