I've noticed that ModPerl::MethodLookup has again no version number and therefore is back on the update list after a current-SVN or preview installation:
cpan> r
Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file
ModPerl::MethodLookup undef 0.009 S/ST/STAS/mod_perl-2.0.0-RC6.tar.gz
what do you mean 'again' did it ever have a version number?
Well, according to the output of the above command, it does in mod_perl-2.0.0-RC6.tar.gz.
In DummyVersions.pm, there's
package ModPerl::MethodLookup; $ModPerl::MethodLookup::VERSION = 1.999023;
I don't know why those numbers differ, but shouldn't the generated module get a real version number in any case, so that the CPAN shell doesn't think that all releases on CPAN are newer than the installed versionless module?
Because CPAN.pm doesn't load DummyVersions.pm, it doesn't load anything at all. It just searches for a string VERSION in the file that it's presenting to you.
