The question I have is why are you linking to Catalyst 3.00?
It's not.
If there's
something you want to point to from another document (resume? blog?), then
perhaps you should just post it on your own website? Then you can put it in
a "look at this code I wrote, it's interesting" context instead of "download
this, newbie!" context.
Because i don't want to break existing links and cpansearch just works,
no need for me to reinvent that wheel.
The CPAN is about community, so it's better to
respect the wishes of the community rather than your own personal tastes.
If the CPAN community is so concerned about this, why is versioning
still a feature?
As long as it's there i will make use of it.
I personally consider having any version other than the latest available on
CPAN a bug. I don't want to waste the mirror's space (these people are
mirroring CPAN for free; I want it to be easy for them), nor do I want to
confuse people looking for the version they should be starting with.
Maybe you should take a look at the cpan mirrors, quite a lot only keep
the most recent versions anyway.
Advanced users know to look for old versions on the backpan.
Backpan != CPAN-Search
Readers of your
blog or whatever would appreciate that you just cite code in an inline
snippet rather than via a link to the CPAN. Everyone wins. :
You don't know all my readers personally, do you?
P.S.: You didn't answer the question from my previous post, why should i
nuke my cpan directory just because you made a naming mistake?
