Hi, it does have a version. $ perl -MXML::TreeBuilder -e "print qq{$XML::TreeBuilder::VERSION\n}" 4.2 What it doesn't have is a hard coded version, which apparently confuses some poor systems. I'll push out 4.3 with some good old fashion hard coded strings.

I saw that reading the code. The problem is that the distribution is called XML::TreeBuilder (XML-TreeBuilder-4.1.tar.gz) and XML::TreeBuilder itself does not show that version. There would probably have been no confusion when nthe distribution would have been called XML-Element-4.1.tar.gz Show quoted text

I'd hardly call 'cpan' a poor system, which is where I found the confusion. I used 'V' to show it, which uses the same versioning detection as cpan. The fact that it confuses 'cpan', made me call it urgent. Show quoted text

Oh I meant "poor systems" as in "poor old systems" not as in crappy :}
