Do folks have thoughts on whether it's better for CPAN modules to use 2- or 3-part version numbers?
I switched recently to using "vI.J.K" version numbering with my modules because [1] and [2] seem to encourage it as a kind of best practice. But isn't that counter to [3], which recommends just "I.J" or "I.J_K"? This confusion came up for me recently when one WinXP smoker failed to recognize the 3-part version numbering in one of my module prequisites. -John [1] http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#What_versions_mean [2] http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=102368 [3] http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.14.1/pod/perlmodstyle.pod#Version_numbering [4] http://search.cpan.org/~andya/Perl-Version-1.011/lib/Perl/Version.pm
