Version parsing bug introduced in 6.69_05

CPAN shell stopped working as it used to work from MakeMaker 6.69_04 to _05 I discovered it because it did not recognize CGI.pm being installed in the latest version (currently 3.63). CPAN shell uses MM->parse_version($parsefile); and up to _04 it returned 3.63 and from _05 it started to return undef. I can reproduce it with perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -le 'print $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION; print MM->parse_version("/home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.14.4/9980/lib/5.14.4/CGI.pm")' 6.6905 undef Output of same invocation after downgrading to _04: 6.6904 3.63

Thanks for spotting that! I've fixed the regression and patch in the EUMM repository. I've also uploaded 6.69_08 with the fix to CPAN.

I *think* the problem is not entirely fixed. DBI fails installation with the latest EU::MM (6.69_08). During the configuration stage I see the following warning: ... Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good WARNING: Setting VERSION via file 'DBI.pm' failed at /home/rabbit/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.16.2/lib/site_perl/5.16.2/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 599. ... Compilation then proceeds fine, but many of the tests fail with Error: DBI object version 0 does not match $DBI::VERSION 1.627 at /home/rabbit/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.16.2/lib/5.16.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi-64int-ld/DynaLoader.pm line 213. Cheers

I've updated the testcase and added some code to deal with trailing comments. New dev release 6.69_09 uploaded to CPAN. Many thanks.
