| Subject: | decreasing version number |
I just discovered the version number of the most recent release is lower than the previous one. Please try it out:
% perl -le 'use version; my @v = qw(v0.4.0 0.005.004 0.005.003); printf "%12s %12s\n", $_, version->new($_)->numify for sort { version->new($a) <=> version->new($b) } @v; '
v0.4.0 0.004000
0.005.003 0.005003
0.005.004 0.005004
Background on the dark corners of perl versioning to be found in my favorite posting on the topic: http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/369/version-numbers-should-be-boring/
I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, it is really helpful for everybody when all CPAN releases obey to the rule to only increase version numbers.
Thanks,
