Some Perl modules have crazy ideas about version numbers. Instead of increasing EPOCH each time something stupid happens, some 0 can be inserted into package name. This makes it more likely that the numbers increase monotonically. Look at http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=CGI-Simple "Other versions" how they jump around. I think p5-CGI-Simple-1.260 package name should be used in this case. wen heping: Please speak with upstream and try to convince them to use continous three digit version numbers like 1.270 in the future. It is not only the OpenBSD package manager which has trouble with inconsistent numbers. bluhm
