Double check that somewhere down the line you're not listing Sys::HostIP > as a prereq. Yes, I have forgotten to mention that Sys::HostIP is also in the prereq list in my Makefile.PL. The strange thing is that I seem to get the warning only after I install Net::Telnet::Cisco. Is there a place with definition of what a VERSION value can be ? I looked at the docs of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. It mentions version numbers under VERSION_FROM but only as examples it has examples like 1.2.3 though not in a string format like '1.2.3'. CPANTS thinks it is a correct version number: http://cpants.perl.org/dist/kwalitee/Sys-HostIP Maybe the way CPANTS check isn't correct but I think there is some mismatch. yeah, now its relevant to this mailing list :-) Gabor
