I'm confused about the versions that are available on the sdl.perl.org
website and links therefrom.

The link near the bottom of sdl.perl.org to
http://www.wgz.org/chromatic/perl/sdl/, which contains "snapshots" has
links to http://www.wgz.org/chromatic/perl/sdl/SDL-Perl.tar.gz.  This
untars into a directory named SDL_Perl-1.20.3.  Yet this appears to be
at least version 2.1.0 as represented on the sdl.perl.org.  Or 1.20.3 is
represents something else that isn't obvious to me (snapshot date?)

I've been distributing a version of the stock 2.1.0 + the event
push/settype patch that I submitted which my project requires.  I'd like
to just have people download it from the official SDL-perl site or from
CPAN, but this is difficult to do since the version on sdl.perl.org/CPAN
doesn't contain my patch, and http://www.wgz.org/chromatic/perl/sdl/
extracts to a strange/old version number directory (which would only
serve to confuse people).  I can reduce this confusion by distributing
SDL-perl on my site, of course, but I was only doing that as a stop-gap
until such a time as my patch was integrated.  Which it has been, and
I'm thankful for that.  I guess I'm looking for advice -- should I just
tell people to download the snapshot from
http://www.wgz.org/chromatic/perl/sdl/ and that the version number is
wonky but that's the one to use?  Or should I just continue to
distribute 2.1.0+my patch until the CPAN release catches up with the
snapshots?
