Subject: | Decreasing version number |
I'm sorry that I have to bring you the bad news that, in perl, version
numbers that look like floating point numbers are treated as floating
point numbers.
This means that 3.10 and 3.11 are lower than 3.8 or 3.9.
Please fix. Lots of expecations are broken by your version numbering the
worst being that if a user has written
use Combine 3.8;
and then upgrades to 3.11, perl will refuse to load 3.11 because it
considers it too old.
You may be interested in reading the version.pm manpage (although it is
not well written).
Thanks,
