Test script for MetaCPAN lookup
The version information recorded at (Meta)CPAN is inconsistent.
Let's do this check (the cpan-version script is attached):
$ ./cpan-version Mail-SpamAssassin Mail::SpamAssassin
{
"abstract": "Apache SpamAssassin is an extensible email filter which is used
to identify spam",
"date": "2024-03-29T12:07:52",
"distribution": "Mail-SpamAssassin",
"download_url":
"https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/S/SI/SIDNEY/Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.1.tar.gz";,
"main_module": "Mail::SpamAssassin",
"status": "latest",
"version": "4.000001"
}
{
"abstract": "Spam detector and markup engine",
"date": "2024-03-29T12:07:52",
"distribution": "Mail-SpamAssassin",
"download_url":
"https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/S/SI/SIDNEY/Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.1.tar.gz";,
"status": "latest",
"version": "v4.0.1"
}
$
We can see that the version is once recorded as "4.000001" and once as "v4.0.1"
(please also note the leading "v"), while the download URL contains "4.0.1" (no
leading "v") and at metacpan.org the version is noted as "4.0.1" too:
https://metacpan.org/dist/Mail-SpamAssassin
While looking at other software at (Meta)CPAN we can see that the version
usually match there:
$ ./cpan-version Mail-SPF Mail::SPF
{
"abstract": "An object-oriented implementation of Sender Policy Framework",
"date": "2024-09-23T05:01:28",
"distribution": "Mail-SPF",
"download_url":
"https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MB/MBRADSHAW/Mail-SPF-3.20240923.tar.gz";,
"main_module": "Mail::SPF",
"status": "latest",
"version": "3.20240923"
}
{
"abstract": "An object-oriented implementation of Sender Policy Framework",
"date": "2024-09-23T05:01:28",
"distribution": "Mail-SPF",
"download_url":
"https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MB/MBRADSHAW/Mail-SPF-3.20240923.tar.gz";,
"status": "latest",
"version": "3.20240923"
}
$
Here is another (unrelated) distribution that uses "v" in its version number.
Again, the version is consistent:
$ ./cpan-version podlators Pod::Man
{
"abstract": "Convert POD data to various other formats",
"date": "2024-07-14T19:58:09",
"distribution": "podlators",
"download_url":
"https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/R/RR/RRA/podlators-v6.0.2.tar.gz";,
"main_module": "Pod::Man",
"status": "latest",
"version": "v6.0.2"
}
{
"abstract": "Convert POD data to formatted *roff input",
"date": "2024-07-14T19:58:09",
"distribution": "podlators",
"download_url":
"https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/R/RR/RRA/podlators-v6.0.2.tar.gz";,
"status": "latest",
"version": "v6.0.2"
}
