Subject:

Decreasing verion number

0.2.0 is, according to the perl version arithmetic, less than 0.12. Don't decrease version numbers, you hurt your users. They will not notice the new release. Maybe take a break and read http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/369/version-numbers-should-be-boring/ Or simply take your inspiration from this oneliner: k@k81:~% perl -le 'use version;for (@ARGV){printf "%7s:%5s\n", $_, version->new($_) <=> version->new("0.12");}' 0.2.0 0.12.0 0.120.0 0.120.1 0.2.0: -1 0.12.0: -1 0.120.0: 0 0.120.1: 1 HTH, Regards,

should be fixed in 0.22 no other changes from 0.2.0 made I'll probably go back to multipart for 1.0.0 btw the reason it's less is that perl sees it as 0.002000 vs 0.12 version numbers/strings suck. ah well, I knew that I just wasn't thinking 'bout it.
