You're right - thanks for the patch. Now fixed in SVN. However, there's a big bug in your watchfile: read the output carefully: > libcurses-perl: Newer version (1.12.) available on remote site: > http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Curses/Curses-1.12.tgz > (local version is 1.11) The newer version is recorded as "1.12.", not "1.12". This is because, from the manpage: Having got a list of `files' matching the pattern, their version num- bers are extracted by treating the part matching the Perl regexp groups, demarcated by `(...)', joining them with `.' as a separator, and using the result as the version number of the file. So you have matched "1.12" and "", giving "1.12.". And if the file were called "Curses-1.12.tar.gz" your version number would be "1.12.ar." Certainly not what you want! Try this instead: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Curses/Curses-([0-9].*?)\.t(?:ar\.)?gz \ which uses clustering, not capturing, for the ar\. bit (see perlre(1)). (Incidentally, you could replace .*? with .* without there being a difference, since the part after it has to match the end of the URL name.)
