When I updated a cpan module's data file (not the module itself),for example,the IP::ChinaISP module's IP-ISP database,do I always need to change the module's version?I want that this module's user always get the newest data file when he execute `install IP::ChinaISP` under CPAN shell,even he has installed it before.
You cannot upload a file under the same name twice. So if your distribution is called Foo-Bar-0.01.tar.gz, next time you upload it, you need to increment the version.
However, you can delete old files from CPAN via the PAUSE interface on pause.perl.org.
