Subject: Shadowed By the Core Version
Dear Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni, Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I found that your constant-1.11 was shadowed from the core constant 1.05 supplied by Perl 5.8.8. imacat@rinse ~ % find /opt/perl/5.8.8/ -name constant.pm /opt/perl/5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/constant.pm /opt/perl/5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/constant.pm imacat@rinse ~ % grep '$VERSION = ' /opt/perl/5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/constant.pm /opt/perl/5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/constant.pm /opt/perl/5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/constant.pm:$VERSION = '1.05'; /opt/perl/5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/constant.pm:$VERSION = '1.11'; imacat@rinse ~ % /opt/perl/5.8.8/bin/perl -mconstant -e'print $constant::VERSION;'; echo 1.05 imacat@rinse ~ % I tried to make a simple patch in the hope that it helps. Please tell me if you need any more information, or if I could be of any help.

You're perfectly right. I thought that after the previous dual-life modules I had included this bit in the Makefile.PL, but it appears I forgot. Thanks for spotting this. Show quoted text

Nicely thought, but I'll push the version to 5.004 since constant.pm is core since this version of Perl. Thanks for reporting. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
