I kinda tried suggesting a similar syntax, but then I realised it couldn't work, because it implicitly says "none of these" but it doesn't state any sort of "Pull something" And then I wondered what: <> ( foo/bar-1 foo/quux-1 ) would do and my head exploded with all the pain. So as verbose as the current syntax may be, its very easy to design something worse, so I figure it better not to do anything unless we're sure we haven't made a mess of it. =foo-bar/baz-(<4.9-r999,>5.0) Or something, where "mixing the package atoms up is impossible", and that way the planner could know that the versions applied to a single requirement, instead of having to guess what it all means when it sees 3 specifications for the same package and going crazy with backtracking. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
