Subject:

version numbering confusion

When running the 'r' command from the CPAN shell, I get this entry (among others): Mail::SPF v2.004 2.004000 JMEHNLE/mail-spf/Mail- SPF-2.004.tar.gz Seems that CPAN is somehow confused about version string / v-string / version-number - I installed this version of the bundle. Cheers, Marek

Same issue comes up with Mail::SPF v2.005 and Net::DNS::Resolver::Programmable v0.003 The problem is that CPAN::Version::vcmp() doesn't clean up the leading 'v' in the version string if there is only one decimal point.

Thanks, a similar fix has been applied as rev. 1917 to the subversion repository and will be in the next release
