I don't think there are any CPAN modules that actually run into this problem - if there was a 1.06 and a 1.60, RPM would give the correct answer (albeit for the wrong reason). The major problem I've found is things like 0.291 and 0.30 Cheers, Ganesh _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
