Under the assumption that noone would be using this (old and >10 years unmaintained) version I asked permission to replace it; this became 1.05. Then it turned out that 0.02 was actually used by some people (e.g Gábor). Also I discovered there were packages for some distros (e.g. Fedora). And, worse, 1.05 had been picked up by some of the package maintainers. I'm almost 100% sure noone (but me) is using 1.05 so I re-released 0.02 (Neil's version) as 1.06 to supercede 'my' version. When package maintainers pick up 1.06 the resultant Data::Properties module should be functional again for all original users of Neil's module. > So I have to eat the leek and I can just pray that no one at the "Enormous > Big Co."

Apologies for the inconvenience... -- Johan
