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.

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).
