I need to mark the CPAN release of version.pm as being incompatible with bleadperl, i.e. 5.9.0 or better, since version.pm is included in bleadperl. All existing code is predicated on a minimum release, not a maximum release. What I'm wondering is what shape should my code take to convey this behavior. I want to avoid die'ing, since that will just cause failures to emit from the CPAN smokers. Should I just create a dummy Build which has a single ok() test? Alternatively, can I create a Build that doesn't include *any* of the CPAN modules, yet runs the existing test suite (which obviously should pass)?
Can I ask the obvious question of why on earth you have a CPAN release that is incompatible with bleadperl?
What happens after 5.10.0 comes out and you need to fix a bug? Adam K
