如何查看perl解释器版本

perl程序属于解释执行语言，在运行前需要经过解释器解析编译后执行，怎么查看当前默认的perl解释器版本呢？

在类unix系统下面打开任意一个终端窗口，输入：perl -v 回车就可以看到类似如下信息：

iMac:os Alex$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

如果想看到更加丰富得perl配置信息，则在终端输入： perl -V回车就可以看到类似如下信息：

正如您所看到的，小写的v显示当前perl解释器的摘要信息，而大写的V显示当前perl解释器的详细信息。
在windows系统上进入cmd命令窗口输入以上命令作用是一样的。
