Subject: Encode requires Test::More 0.81_01 - this warns
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2020 15:57:14 +0000
To: bug-Encode [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Dave Mitchell <davem [...] iabyn.com>
Encode (certainly the version 3.07 bundled with bleadperl) has this in Makefile.PL: TEST_REQUIRES => { 'Test::More' => '0.81_01', }, When built as part of blead, this causes the following noise on stderr: Argument "0.81_01" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at /home/davem/perl5/git/bleed/cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 618. As a general goal of mine is that building bleadperl should produce nothing on stderr, it would be nice if this warning went away. I assume it's due to the development version of Test::More specified, i.e. the _01. AFAIKT, there's no real need for such a precise requirement; a look at perl releases shows the following versions of Test::More were bundled: 5.8.0 0.45 5.8.9 0.80 5.9.0 0.47 5.9.5 0.70 5.10.0 0.72 5.10.1 0.92 5.11.0 0.92 5.12.0 0.94 So I guess just requiring 'Test::More' => '0.92' would suffice. -- Justice is when you get what you deserve. Law is when you get what you pay for.

I've created two pull requests that I believe are a better solution to this problem. https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pull/382 https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/CPAN-Meta-Requirements/pull/34 If they are merged, they should allow EUMM to handle prereqs like this without warning in core.
