Subject: Extraneous version string found in README
My README contains the following text, which is just part of some documentation and not a version specifier: my $b = ExtUtils::CBuilder->new( quiet => 1 ); This line seems to be picked up perl-reversion as $VERSION=1 though. -Ken

Hi Ken, Can you force it to work by specifying --current <current version> ? I think it's going to work better if I reorganise it so that it infers the current version from the formally structured files (.pms etc) and then looks for the version it inferred in the unstructured files.

I've just released 1.009 which improves the heuristic used for finding version strings in plain text files. It now scans the structured files first to work out what the project version is then searches only for that version number in the unstructured files. Give it a spin and see if it works for you :)

Yup, that works fine. It's a slightly different use case, but that's indeed the workaround I ended up using. Thanks, -Ken
