A couple previously reported bugs involve version numbering
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75597 - says an issue w/
1.63, leading to "Invalid version format (non-numeric data)" was resolved
w/ 1.64
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=83219 also addresses just a
general issue w/ numbering the versions.
However, I'm still confused of which is the latest, and so is CPAN.
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=FindBin-libs+1.8 - Takes you all the
way through 1.8
http://search.cpan.org/~lembark/FindBin-libs-1.8/lib/FindBin/libs_curr.pm -
Lists the Module Version as v1.63.0
I've hit this same issue on multiple linux platforms, here are examples:
Fedora 20, Perl 5.18.2
Fedora 14, Perl 5.12.4
RHEL 6.5, Perl 5.10
Checking through CPAN, we get
cpan[3]> m FindBin::libs
Module id = FindBin::libs
DESCRIPTION access lib & subdirs via $FindBin::Bin
CPAN_USERID LEMBARK (Steven Lembark <lembark@wrkhors.com>)
CPAN_VERSION v1.63.0
CPAN_FILE L/LE/LEMBARK/FindBin-libs-1.8.tar.gz
UPLOAD_DATE 2013-05-29
DSLIP_STATUS Mdppp (mature,developer,perl,pragma,Standard-Perl)
MANPAGE FindBin::libs - locate and a 'use lib' or export
directories based on $FindBin::Bin.
INST_FILE /usr/local/share/perl5/FindBin/libs.pm
INST_VERSION v1.63
So, unless I download and install from source (which I haven't tried - will
that give me 1.8?), it seems that I can't get above 1.63 to get the
reported fix re. "Invalid version format". It seems like there's still
potentially an issue w/ version numbering.
