| Subject: | Convert complex versions in Module::Build::Compat rather than dieing |
It would be very helpful is Module::Build::Compat would convert complex
versions to numeric form rather than just dieing when it sees them.
This change made some modules like Mail::SPF uninstallable.
Thanks for the great work you're doing with Module::Build
