NAME Acme::CPANModules::OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap - Chronicle CPAN distributions which have been trapped by the one- and two decimal digits versioning scheme VERSION This document describes version 0.002 of Acme::CPANModules::OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap), released on 2020-01-03. DESCRIPTION Chronicle CPAN distributions which have been trapped by the one- and two decimal digits versioning scheme. The x.y and x.yy versioning scheme used in Perl distribution has a trap: when you release a new version by incrementing the patchlevel part into x.y.z and x.yy.z, the new version number will be *less* than x.y and x.yy because x.y and x.yy will numify to x.y00 and x.yy0 respectivey; while x.y.z and x.yy.z will numify to x.00y.z and x.0yy, respectively. So if you release Acme-MyDist-0.1 (numifies to 0.100000) then Acme-MyDist-0.1.1 (0.001001), or Acme-MyDist-0.01 (0.010000) then Acme-MyDist-0.01.1 (0.001001), PAUSE will *refuse* to index your new version because of "decreasing version number." This does *not* happen when you release Acme-MyDist-0.001 (0.001000) and then Acme-MyDist-0.001.1 (0.001001). This thing is peculiar to Perl, and is not intuitive. Consequently, sometimes CPAN authors are not familiar with this and thus have fallen into this trap. This list chronicles distributions which have been trapped by this.

INCLUDED MODULES * Validate::Simple - From 0.01 to 0.01.1 Author's comment in ChangeLog: "Change version properly." * Bencher - From 0.46 to 0.46.1 Author's comment in ChangeLog: "This version number is broken because 0.46 > 0.46.1 because 0.46 normalizes to 0.460.000 while 0.46.1 is 0.046.100. This has happened a few times to me in other distributions too, so perhaps it's time to consider switching to a 3-digit minor version." Author's blog post: (2016-09-10). * Array::Compare - From 2.12 to 2.12.1 Author's comment in ChangeLog: "Fixing the idiocy in the previous version." Author's blog post: (2016-12-13). * Acme::CPANLists - From 0.02 to 0.9.0 Author's comment in ChangeLog: "Update version number so it's higher than 0.02 (d'oh)." FAQ What are ways to use this module? Aside from reading it, you can install all the listed modules using cpanmodules: % cpanmodules ls-entries OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.
