Re: Can't use three part version number for CPAN modules

in reply to Can't use three part version number for CPAN modules

Here's what I got from the PAUSE indexer report. A status of "Falling revision number". The Indexer was somehow converting "0.0.3" to "0.000003", and that being less than "0.01", hence the error.

Code?

Take a look at things like Class::Std do it.

In Problem with CPAN and module version numbers, TheDamian mentions that the PAUSE indexer does not handle the version module correctly, so I'm not sure if its changed now. The VERSION variable in my module was set as `our $VERSION = "0.0.3";` [download] -- Rohan	[reply] [d/l]

our $VERSION = "0.0.3"; If you're following TheDamian's advice you'll want to use the version module instead of a plain string. Something like: `use version; our $VERSION = qv( '0.0.0' );` [download] and adding version to your modules prerequisites. NOTE: it's important to keep the `use version` on the same line since many modules grep out the line with $VERSION and eval it to get the version number out.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
