Does anyone know of a nice fix for this problem? The issue is that perl orders version numbers based on a floating point comparison, whereas RPM compares version numbers on an essentially integer basis (precisely, it splits the version number into the pieces separated by '.', then compares each chunk, but without removing leading zeroes: so 1.06 < 1.10 but 1.061 > 1.10). My best idea so far is to turn Perl's 1.061 into 1.0.6.1 (etc) when generating version numbers for RPM. But this is a bit messy, and would also require rebuilding all Redhat's packages to do the same thing. I could make it slightly less messy by just inserting an extra '.' after the first two digits after the first '.' - so 1.061 would become 1.06.1, which would be slightly less correct but still work for all the cases I've run into so far. It should also minimise the need to rebuild the Redhat packages.
