in reply to CPAN Shell, Bundles and downloading specific versions

I'm not sure if this is also true for bundles, but the standard module dependencies scheme (in Makefile.PL or META.yaml) only allow a minimum version number for dependent modules: this would explain why you'd get a v2.05 while you're requesting v1.005 of a module.

I'm not sure how you should work around the problem, maybe you could use only. I think you still need to download and install that module version using a custom script (CPANPLUS might be a handy module for that).
