Makefile.PL declares wrong dependency for File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced

joenio@template-master:~/template$ cpanm FindBin::libs --> Working on FindBin::libs Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/L/LE/LEMBARK/FindBin-libs-2.018000.tar.gz ... OK ==> Found dependencies: File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced Found File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced 0.006 which doesn't satisfy 0.200. ! Installing the dependencies failed: Installed version (0.006) of File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced is not in range '0.200' ! Bailing out the installation for FindBin-libs-2.018000. The latest version of File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced is 0.006 but FindBin::libs looks for 0.200 version.

FindBin-libs-2.019000 has been updated to require: File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced 0.6 But that is interpreted as 0.600! I think it should be: File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced 0.006

This is why I *hate* supporting really old versions of Perl. Anything older than 5.10 should be relegated to the dustbin of history... The really dumb thing we do to ourselves is keep supporting 5.8 rather than collectively screaming that Perl needs to be updated (e.g., acting more like Python Nazis).

That was it: I left the 'v' off: DB<1> x version->parse( '0.6' )->numify 0 0.600 DB<2> x version->parse( 'v0.6.0' )->numify 0 0.006000 DB<3> x version->parse( 'v0.6' )->numify 0 0.006000 -- Steven Lembark 1505 National Ave Workhorse Computing Rockford, IL 61103 lembark@wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508
