Well, the thing that's strange about this (as you can see from the diff) is that I didn't change any code that has anything to do with the version numbering stuff. It might be an issue with Module::Build, but I can't reproduce it with the latest M::B, latest version.pm, etc. > > This is just one reason I don't use anything but single decimal point > versions (e.g., 1.23), and never use version objects.

Also, some of my modules are packaged in Debian so I don't want to just change the scheme now, or it'll require a new epoch :( > > I know there's a "right way" to probably do all this, but it always > seems there a catch somewhere with older perls, CPAN or something else. > Therefore, I just avoid all the headaches and hassles with the above > scheme. > > On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 12:37 PM, Jonathan Yu<jonathan.i...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi: >> >> I seek the wisdom of any other module authors that might have come >> across this problem. >> >> Recently, I uploaded a new version of Math::Random::ISAAC::XS and ran >> into a *lot* of regressions.
