Distribution version numbers
It may be noted that version numbers can be highly confusing. CPAN considers 7.100 and 7.1 to be the same version. The result is that it considers 7.10 to be an older version than 7.9. OTOH, 7.10.0 is newer than 7.9.0. CPAN orders the versions as:
7.10 < 7.9 == 7.9.0 < 7.10.0 == v7.10
So, 7.9 and 7.9.0 are consider the same version, but 7.10 isn't the same as 7.10.0!

My advice: when writing Perl software, avoid dots in version numbers. Otherwise, it will confuse people.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
