Fergal,

Hmm, isn't that what Module::Build is already offering to you? use Module::Build; my $build = Module::Build->new ( module_name => 'Foo::Bar', license => 'perl', requires => { 'perl' => '5.6.1', 'Some::Module' => '1.23', 'Other::Module' => '>= 1.2, != 1.5, < 2.0', }, ); $build->create_build_script;My 2 cents, Nadim.
Yes. However, the added benefit of Version::Split is that it moves the maintanance of "'>= 1.2, != 1.5, < 2.0'" away from Foo::Bar and centrally into Other::Module. As Fergal stated,

This should be less error prone and easier to maintain.
