There seems to be some version mismatches between CPAN
and DBD

When I install  T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.14.tar.gz
and do the cpan "r" command it reports that
there is a new version:

Package namespace         installed    latest  in CPAN file
DBD::ExampleP                 10.11     10.13  T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.15.tar.gz

So I install the latest DBI-1.15.tar.gz as recomended, and
then cpan "r" indicates that the latest version is DBI-1.14.tar.gz

Package namespace         installed    latest  in CPAN file
DBD::ADO                      0.419      1.17  T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.14.tar.gz

Is this a bug in the CPAN module, or did your version numbering
scheme for lib/DBD/ADO.pm change

lib/DBD/ADO.pm from DBI-1.14 contained
    $VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q$Revision: 1.17 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/o);

lib/DBD/ADO.pm from DBI-1.15 containes
    $VERSION = '0.4'.sprintf("%02d",substr(q$Revision: 1.19 $, 12,-1));

I can see the the RCS/CVS Revision incremented from 1.17 to 1.19,
but the 'reported $VERSION seems to have dropped down
from 1.17 to 0.419, which triggers CPAN to report that I should
upgrade using a downgrade.
