hi,
You're a day too early. Try Module::Build 0.2808, just released to CPAN
yesterday afternoon, and the test failures should go away. The short answer is
that the behavior of version objects changed (against my better judgement) in
version-0.72XX, and the testfiles in M::B needed to be updated.
as advertised, latest "install Module::Build::Version" now seems OK,
module_info Module::Build
Name: Module::Build
Version: 0.2808
Directory: /usr/local/lib/perl/sitelib
File: /usr/local/lib/perl/sitelib/Module/Build.pm
Core module: no
module_info Module::Build::Version
Name: Module::Build::Version
Version: 0.7203
Directory: /usr/local/lib/perl/sitelib
File: /usr/local/lib/perl/sitelib/Module/Build/Version.pm
Core module: no
thanks!
Additionally, the 'r' option to cpan is somewhat misleading; in this case, the
only place that M::B::Version 0.58 existed was in bleadperl, so you couldn't
install it into 5.8.8 if you tried. The latest M::B release fixes that as well.
now, that should probably be obvious to me from something in the cpan
console ouput, but that completely eluded me.
thanks again!
