I saw that on p5p. It seems to be an idea who's time has come! John has taken a different approach. A is compatible with B if A >= B (for the standard version meaning of >=) and it hasn't been specifically declared incompatible.
An upside is that you can give a reason why the current version is not compatible with version A. A downside is that I think negative declarations might be harder to maintain. As you make more and more changes you must continually rethink the list of versions with which you are incompatible and why. Making positive declarations means that you can just let your compatibility information grow. You don't have to think about anything except the difference between your new version and it's immediate predecessor, F On Tuesday 03 February 2004 05:08, david nicol wrote: > So here's what I got back from perlbug > > > -- > david nicol > shift back the cost. www.pay2send.com > > Encapsulated message > > > [perl #25268] h2xs does not create VERSION stubs > Date: Saturday 02:24:27 > From: "John Peacock via RT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > See CPAN/authors/id/J/JP/JPEACOCK/version-Limit-0.01.tar.gz for a way to > do this using the "version" module and Perl 5.8.0+ > > > > End of encapsulated message
