Yes, we should all be using tags. However, it is much safer to do ## WARNING, UNTESTED CODE FROM MEMORY::: ($VERSION) = '$Revision$ =~ s/\$Revision: (.*)\$/$1/; or something like that than remember to update the number each time you release a Perl module since $VERSION is a critical part of 'make dist'. And 1.1.1.1 is a bad number for Perl versions. It's not a showstopper, it is just annoying. > -Larry Jones > > I take it there's no qualifying exam to be a Dad. -- Calvin > _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
