Bug Information
Severity: Critical
Broken in: v0.5.2
Fixed in: (no value)



Subject: decreasing versions
Versions with 2 dots are converted to real numbers. 0.1.1 means 0.001001. So 0.1 > 0.1.1. Versions with one dot are real numbers. So 0.9 > 0.10. Best is to delete distributions that have bigger versions that latest (that will help new installations). And upload new distribution with correct version (that will help users that have older version installed). -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
Alternatively, the version number should be advanced to at least v0.700.1. See http://search.cpan.org/~jpeacock/version-0.9916/lib/version.pod#How_to_convert_a_module_from_decimal_to_dotted-decimal for more information. Currently 0.6 is seen as the latest version in https://cpan.metacpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt (and hence in MetaCPAN, Debian etc).
