Kartik and friends rewrote SDL_perl (a Perl module with SDL bindings) using a different API. Then they ported my Perl-based game to using that new Perl module, and to be CPAN-friendly. My game previous versions were 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, so now I would like it to be versioned 2.2.1. But prior to that, I would like to release a beta version because I suspect a couple of corner cases to contain bugs. So we're looking for a way to version it 2.2.1-beta1 or something similar, in order for it to NOT be included in stable distributions or replace 2.2.0 for regular users. Then we'll release 2.2.1 in a couple of weeks when no more important bugs are known. Thanks for your patience :) PS: is an XY problem bound to a specific gender? do you think giving the problem to an XX person would solve it faster? :) -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://zarb.org/~gc/
