Re^2: Dealing with package version numbers when monkey-punching

No, I am not subclassing, I am definitely monkey-patching (which, you are right, is the correct term: I was conflating monkey-patching with duck-punching).

Hiding the packages from the PAUSE indexer was the right solution: many thanks for the link to the article about that. You can see the change that solved my problem at https://github.com/folio-org/Net-Z3950-FOLIO/commit/ef85a1dc127c0770dc7ad17d778fbce64a8e67af if interested. Thanks again.

YT/SFW: Another real live monkey punching a giant rodent... Sometimes, I believe the point has been reached where for any conceivable situation, an appropriate video can be found on YT.	[reply]
