This module checks that your Changes file has an entry for the current version of the Module being tested. The version information for the distribution being tested is taken out of the Build data, or if that is not found, out of the Makefile. It then attempts to open, in order, a file with the name Changes or CHANGES. The Changes file is then parsed for version numbers. If one and only one of the version numbers matches, the test passes; otherwise the test fails. A message with the current version is printed if the test passes; otherwise diagnostic messages are printed to help explain the failure.
