Subject: Wacky version number in distro tarball seems to break CPAN
CPAN just know about Test::Deep when I tried to install it just now. I'm guessing that the strange version # in the tarball is responsible, but that's just a guess.

Hmm, the version is a beta release, hence the wacky number. What do you mean "break CPAN"? I thought I was allowed have alpha characters in version numbers... maybe I should just do _NNN for beta releases.

I tried typing "install Test::Deep" ffrom the CPAN shell, and it could not find it in the index. Show quoted text

I'm just guessing that's the problem, though the standard for betas is to use _NN. This is probably a bug somewhere in the CPAN toolchain, but if it's just the version # you can work around it easily enough. -dave /*=================================================== VegGuide.Org www.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.

That's unfortunate. That beta has served its purpose now anyway, I've deleted it on PAUSE, I don't know if that removes it from the index now or when the file is finally deleted. I might just push out a higher-version to fix the problem, F
