Those aren't errors in version.pm; the behavior of alpha versions has changed (according to the Lyon Compromise) and the tests that are failing will have to either have to be deleted (my preference) or changed. Alpha versions, especially for dotted decimal versions, have been inconsistent for a long time and the changes made attempt to bring some consistency. The behavior in question is only triggered for bare "v-string versions", so simply quoting the initializer is sufficient to restore the old behavior: $ perl -I blib/lib/ -I blib/arch/ -Mversion -E 'say version->new(v3.45.1_1); say version->new("v3.45.1_1")' v3.45.11 v3.45.1_1 John

I'm looking at this. I'll just get rid of _ support for v strings. I don't use them. Where is the text of the Lyon Compromise? For what it's worth, the changelog for version was just about useless to me for this issue. I don't get any sense about what is different between releases or what I as a user need to know.

That's a fair point about the lack of clarity on what changed. Here's the gist with the details: https://gist.github.com/dagolden/9559280 I'll push out 0.9915 in a couple of days with a much more detailed README detailing the differences. John

It looks like my latest patches fixed this issue. Thanks for everyone's hard work and attention, especially since you probably don't use this module.
