Hi folks,

just wanted to share what I learned in my time away:

When releasing to CPAN, we will need to have version
numbers in all modules, and increase the version number
of the top level Test::Unit module (Unit.pm) by a tick
to make sure the release gets grabbed when you
just say "install Test::Unit" to the CPAN shell (this 
currently fails with version 0.13 since I did not understand
this before and did the Wrong Thing).

Basically, the CPAN shell will base its search of any
request *only* on the version numbers in the modules
themselves. The version number on the distribution file
is completely unimportant. It's just an ID on the file.

Currently, the only way to get the thing you expect for
distribution files with more than one module is to 
manage versions by synchronizing the distribution file
version number with the top level module version number
(they both need to be montonically increasing in sync).

Cheers,

Christian
