How do I tell what version of a module is installed? (REALLY stupid question!)

| Because I can't install into a general location on the Unix machine I'm
working on, I've been installing modules into a lib directory of my
own. If I go there, I can see, for instance, a directory called
Archive, and within that, a directory called Tar, which tells me that
Archive::Tar is installed, but how do I tell which version it is?
(I believe I installed 1.08, but a subsequent install of something else
was complaining that I had an earlier version of Archive::Tar. Would
just like to be able to confirm what version I have installed.)
Thanks.

Not exactly right, but close. You should find Archive::Tar in
Archive/Tar.pm. View this Archive/Tar.pm module and find the $VERSION
variable, or use Archive::Tar; print $Archive::Tar::VERSION.
