  Sun Aug 04 15:16:07 2013 ether [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: does not extract correct version for modules with a dev release
perl -MData::Dumper -MModule::Extract::VERSION -wle'print Dumper( Module::Extract::VERSION->parse_version_safely($ARGV[0]))' `perldoc -lm Test::More` $VAR1 = '$'; $VAR2 = 'VERSION'; $VAR3 = '0.98_05'; $VAR4 = '/Users/ether/.perlbrew/libs/19.2@std/lib/perl5/Test/More.pm'; $VAR5 = 20; The version should be '0.9805', not '0.98_05'. FWIW, Module::Metadata has the same problem (see RT#87438, RT#87599).

The extracted value is exactly the same as the value in that file. This module does nothing to try to interpret what that value should mean.

Okay, so given that this module won't be of any use for interpreting versions for dev releases, shouldn't that be noted as a caveat in the documentation?

That's a pretty aggressive statement. If it has an underscore, it's a dev version. If it doesn't do what you want, use something else. It's doing exactly what I want and what it advertises. It exactly extracts the string that the programmer assigned to $VERSION. Please do not reply to this. The ticket is rejected. -- brian d foy <brian.d.foy@gmail.com> http://www.pair.com/~comdog/
