Why that rev in particular? Is this related to your query on p5p about 24714 breaking Term::Readline::Gnu by chance? The problem is that version.pm was integrated into bleadperl before that point, and with a very early version (0.42), so I'm not really sure how well the embedded version code in Module::Build is going to play with the already-existing version code in bleadperl. > Don't tell me that I shall install a newer version of version.pm: This > fails because it depends on Module::Build :( And you couldn't anyways, because the CPAN version.pm is strictly a compatibility module for non-bleadperl releases (i.e. it is a noop for bleadperl). I backrev'd my p4 checkout to that rev and I'll try to build bleadperl and then get Module::Build to play nice if I can. It's kind of a stretch, though, to try and maintain compatibility with random bleadperl releases, which by default and design are not intended to be considered stable releases.
