That seems possible. I don't have a 0.26 M::B handy, but your Mail::SPF
META.yml has "version: 2.00400" and mine are like "version: v0.11.3".
The question may be whether the version.pm / CPAN code is honoring your
VERSION line correctly. Though, possibly that should be qv('v2.4.0').
John?
If it compares a version object to your META.yml, I think that should be
good. If it is doing a string-compare, I think all bets are off.
Aside: I'm thinking of changing most of my modules to simply say
"$VERSION = v0.1.2" just to see what breaks. So far, it appears to be
less of an issue than the version.pm docs imply, at least back to 5.6.2
or so.
