If a distribution declares a dependency on '5.010' Perl, inc::Module::Install dies in Module::Install::Admin::ScanDeps::scan_dependencies() with: Module::CoreList has no information on perl 5.010 at /usr/lib/perl5/ site_perl/5.10.1/Module/Install/Admin/ScanDeps.pm line 25. This is because %Module::CoreList::version is indiced only with some arbitrary versions and normalized numeral versions only. E.g. it contains an entry for 5.005, 5.005000 and 5.010000 but no entry of 5.010. This patch fixes the lookup by converting a version string into a numeral. https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=71565 Perl-Toolchain-Gang#47

It really should use version->parse($perl_version)->numify, rather than the regex and such. But I guess that would require bundling version.pm. This is nice and unobtrusive. |
