I have just reread perlmod and perlmodlib. It looks like they both need a decent amount of work to bring them in line with the new package syntax. For instance, Give the module a version/issue/release number. To be fully compatible with the Exporter and MakeMaker modules you should store your module’s version number in a non‐my package variable called $VERSION. This should be a floating point number with at least two digits after the decimal (i.e., hundredths, e.g, "$VERSION = "0.01""). Don’t use a "1.3.2" style version. See Exporter for details. Should probably be changed to refer to the second package argument with a caveat about possibly needing $VERSION to satisfy old static analysis code. -- Chas.
