Subject: | File::GlobMapper::$VERSION needs increment |
In the course of synching the cpan/IO-Compress tree with CPAN version 2.074 today, one of the porting tests pointed to a problem with $VERSION in lib/File/GlobMapper.pm. The code within that file was changed, but its $VERSION was not incremented.
I actually misidentified the problem in my commit message:

lib/File/GlobMapper.pm lacks a $VERSION; compensate for that by adding an entry in Porting/cmpVERSION.pl.

The problem was not that that module lacked a $VERSION; rather, the $VERSION was not incremented to reflect changes in the file's content.
When you next do a CPAN release of IO-Compress, could you increment $File::GlobMapper::VERSION? Perhaps you could set it to the same $VERSION which the rest of IO-Compress uses.
This is not urgent. At least as of today, we can include IO-Compress 2.074 in perl-5.26.0 without alteration. And this correction is not worth an IO-Compress 2.075 release. But we could probably bundle it with other, more important changes whenever the time for 2.075 comes around.
Thank you very much.
