I've almost got version-0.77 ready to go into blead (minus the POD cleanup), and I would like to put the tests into ext/version/t, so that I can share the same test suite as the CPAN release (rather than trying to roughly merge two CPAN tests into lib/version.t). Two questions: 1) Would that work for you /vis-a-vis/ Perl 5.10.1? I know you didn't want to pull all of the reorg work into 5.10.1 just yet. 2) Since all of the version.pm code lives in util.c/universal.c in the core (since Perl itself has deep dependencies on it), all that would be in ext/version would be a stub Makefile.PL which would only be responsible for the tests. I don't know how hard #2 is going to be to pull off, so if anyone has smart ideas, I'm all ears. I have just released another alpha release to CPAN (76_03) which works correctly in Perl 5.10.0 for the XS model; I still have to do something sneaky to make it work with the pure Perl version.pm class.
