According to the offical docmentation for the CPAN module http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/lib/CPAN.html#Bundles
or perldoc CPAN.

I have a stock perl 5.6.1 on Debian Linux (compiled not from .deb). I'm now trying to 'get' Bundles from CPAN both custom Bundles and CPAN bundles (like Bundle::DBI).

I'm noticing that CPAN is always downloading the most recent version and not the specified version. Is there something wrong with CPAN.pm or is it my bundle? 

package Bundle::Mine;

$VERSION = 1.5;

__END__
