This is confusing. Shouldn't 1.90 be mapped to 1.090.000 ? And 1.95.1 to 1.095.001 ? This way, the test would work fine > Since you control this Build.PL (if I'm reading your email correctly), > you only have the change this line: > > 'Parse::RecDescent' => '1.90', > > to be > > 'Parse::RecDescent' => '1.90.0', > > and you will be golden. Yes, I can change this line. But it is confusing to be required to specify a version that does not exists as is in Parse::RecDescent history. Furthermore, this dependency test works fine with MakeMaker so it is a nasty surprise for people who are moving from MakeMaker to Module::Build. Can't this discrepancy between MakeMaker and Module::Build be fixed ? HTH -- Dominique Dumont "Delivering successful solutions requires giving people what they need, not what they want."
