But that's not what the module had: perl -le "print '100_200_300'" 100_200_300 Once I determined to use an underscore to denote an alpha version (and that boat has long since sailed), then I had to validate the format (no periods after the underscore and only one underscore allowed). Actually, had that release been uploaded to PAUSE, I believe the CPAN indexer code would have choked just as readily... ;-) John
