Schoolboy mistake (Score:2)

I did this with Win32::ASP, one of my first modules. I got a nice letter from Andreas correcting my usage of version numbers. I suspect he doesn't have time to mail everyone though.

Basically, perl (or rather CPAN.pm) treats them as real numbers, not "minor.major", as I was used to. So you probably want x.10, even though CPAN thinks x.9 is newer.
