3.07 distro contains version 3.04 of Header.pm

Hi, Not sure if this is, technically, a bug but it's rather unorthodox to have a lib/Astro/FITS/Header.pm that reports itself as 3.04 in an Astro- FITS-Header-3.07 distro ... and it's more than enough to confuse me ;-) Cheers, Rob

It's deliberate as 3.07 didn't include any changes to Astro::FITS::Header. It seemed like the logical thing to do at the time although I notice that it confuses cpanm if you ask to update Astro::FITS::Header because it doesn't know anything about distributions.

This because CPAN dependencies don't work using distributions, they're specified using module names.

At runtime, there are no distributions, only modules.

Usually there's a degree of acceptability with non-main-modules not tracking DIST-VERSION. Its discouraged, but it works.

But MAIN_MODULE not tracking DIST_VERSION is rather weird and likely to cause headaches.

Addressed as part of a proposed switch to using EUMM: https://github.com/timj/perl-Astro-FITS-Header/pull/1
