( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Can anyone provide a definitive reference on the meaning of version 1.0 in the Perl world, especially for CPAN modules? ... along with advice on how a CPAN module should advertise that it is stable, well-tested and not experimental.

As indicated here I'm eager to update Writing Solid CPAN Modules with decent versioning advice but have left this in the too hard basket for far too long. :)

I sympathise with the OP because in the mainstream software world, I've always believed that version 1.0 indicated a stable, supported, production (not development) release. For example, from SemVer:

The simplest thing to do is start your initial development release at 0.1.0 ... If your software is being used in production, it should probably already be 1.0.0. If you have a stable API on which users have come to depend, you should be 1.0.0.

Oh, and other cool Perl versioning references you may know of that are not mentioned here are also welcome.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
