I had another idea. According to the description, the $VERSION check by the PAUSE indexer is run in a Safe compartment as well as needing to assign on one line.
The .pd file a perl file so what happens if you try something like this at the top: my $PDFILE_VERSION = '4.07'; $VERSION = $PDFILE_VERSION; of netcdf.pd and then change the here document with the pp_addpm() for the $VERSION assignment to qq() based and use this as the assignment: $VERSION = $PDFILE_VERSION; Cheers, Chris On 2/1/2011 8:12 PM, Chris Marshall wrote: > Hi Doug- > > Did you ever try adding an auxiliary version.pm file > with just the desired version number in that?
