Isn't "return;" the more canonical way of returning false ?
Beats me... I know a lot of the mp2 code particular Apache2::Status as I was just digging in there uses return 0. I really have no preference.


Minor nit, but wouldn't

my @tuples = split /\./, $has_version;
my @r_tuples = split /\./, $requested_version;

return cmp_tuples([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) == 1;

sub cmp_tuples {
    my ($a, $b) = @_;

    while(@$a && @$b) {
        my $cmp = shift @$a <=> shift @$b;
        return $cmp if $cmp;
    }
    return @$a <=> @$b;
}

Be a more generic approach that would also work if there is ever a
gcc-4.0.0.1 and could possibly be used to refactor some more version
comparaisons ?
More generic yes.  But working no. :)

<=> returns 1, 0, -1, and undef for NaN.
both 1 and -1 are true in perl.

That should be
>         return $cmp if $cmp;
return 1 if $cmp == 1;

Whith that minor change, I agree.
