Subject: Module::Build::Version can't handle 1_01 style
Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 20:48:24 +0100
To: bugs-Module-Build [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Matt S Trout <mst [...] shadowcat.co.uk>
Module::Build::Version->new("1_01"); Error: Invalid version format (alpha without decimal) I'm not sure if that's actually valid, though given 1.01_01 is I don't see why the . is compulsory. However if it isn't valid, a more useful error would be nice. I'd also note that when ModuleInfo's sub _evaluate_version_line produces this error it'd be nice to have it re-thrown with the file name included for quicker debugging. -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?

This is straight out of version.pm -- perhaps you want to report it there and/or discuss it with John Peacock. Show quoted text

I'm not sure if version.pm can be much more informative. I suppose it could include the package name when invoked as VERSION(), but AFAICT the constructor only knows caller(). $ perl -I/tmp -e 'use version; use foo; warn foo->VERSION' Invalid version format (alpha without decimal) at -e line 1.

That bit would make a fine feature request for M::B. --Eric
