Bug #43774 for Catalyst-View-XSLT: Please define $VERSION in submodules

Subject:

Please define $VERSION in submodules

Hello there, I ran into a very unfortunate situation. I asked CPAN to install Catalyst::View::XSLT::XML::LibXSLT (a submodule of the Catalyst::View::XSLT distribution), and it installed version 0.04 by Martin Grigorov (http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MA/MARTING/Catalyst-View-XSLT-0.04.tar.gz), which is old and incompatible with the your latest release. This happened because you didn't specify a $VERSION for Catalyst::Helper::View::XSLT and Catalyst::View::XSLT::XML::LibXSLT in your distribution. So CPAN thinks 0.04 is the latest one. Asking CPAN to install Catalyst::View::XSLT resulted in the correct version installed. Please add a $VERSION to the other two modules too to avoid such (corner case, I admit it) annoyance. cheers, Aldo

Sigh, i've seen the CPAN indexer warnings already but didn't expected any impact... obviously a wrong assumption. Annoys me pretty much that i have to put those useless versions back again but i'll do it anyways with the next release. Thanks for the report and kind regards Simon

I've just released version 0.07 which contains the $VERSIONs again.
