Your distro version does not have the underscore, so it's not marked as a dev release. You should quote the version. i.e.: our $VERSION = '0.26_01'; A bare underscore in numbers are ignored. So that you could write a million as: 1_000_000 instead of 1000000. Also, the smokers can still test dev releases or you can specifically request a dev release from cpan shell like `ìnstall author/$distro.tar.gz` i believe... > Shmuel.
