Thanx for that, I'll get onto it ASAP. And your absolutely right, I should have lowered the VERSION.pm into a safer namespace.

Neat idea, but this is bad: 0 windhund /usr/local/src/CPAN/tidyview-1.09$ sudo make install Password: Installing /usr/local/lib/site_perl/VERSION.pm Like it or not, we have to live with case-insensitive filesystems. This does not actually blow over version.pm but only because tidyview is arch independent and version.pm is dependent so they go into different directories and arch-dependent modules (usually) come first in @INC. And then there's the consideration of what happens when another application decides to ship their own VERSION.pm blowing over yours. Call it TidyView::VERSION or something, keep it in your namespace. It also means you can use version.pm without hacky work-arounds. Patch attached. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
