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

I was thinking a little less granular.

For example if I run cpan-audit installed I see a warning for PathTools <3.62 so if I use File::Spec I simply enforce minimal version so that the Module user performs an update of this module.

Actually that specific module probably not a great example as it's part of Core bundled packages but you get the idea. So wasn't thinking about going down to specific encryption algols etc but just looking at modules with versions that have security advisories that are simple enough to set minimal versions on without forcing a Perl version upgrade.

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.
