comment on

Very nice, getting everything into a short page like that. But, I have a few comments:

Are you sure you want to make $VERSION a float, rather than a v-string? And if so, illustrate the three-digit convention (e.g. 5.005_001 for version 5.5.1).

I'm also shocked that your pm file doesn't use strict!

I would also suggest adding a comment to the 1; line, saying that this means "loaded OK".

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
