Re^2: Upload a new application

Thank you for your detailed reply. It helped a lot.

One more piece of advice. First, upload it with a "developer's version number" ...

That's what I plan. My tarball is named SudokuTrainer-0.000.001-TRIAL.tar.gz. I will modify the path names in the source, finish the README and then dare my 1st upload.

That's not a dev version number. See perlmodstyle - Version Numbering for the relevant details. Your existing version numbering scheme doesn't really even fit into any of the formats listed in that document. There are good reasons related to CPAN indexing for using proper "developer" version strings; the indexers will skip indexing the module, but the testers will still test it. What you have doesn't quite fit what the automated tools expect. Dave	[reply]

That section of perlmodstyle talks about version numbers of modules. Each module in my tarball contains the line `use version; our $VERSION = qv('0.0.1'); # PBP` I think this is ok. The name of the tarball has been created by the Build script in response to my parameter `release_status => 'testing'` in Build.PL. I hope that this is ok too.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
