I of course do. No go ahead and change that. I made a new branch for CPAN.I'm not able to set the version in your new build system. When I do that change --- a/lib/Games/FrozenBubble.pm +++ b/lib/Games/FrozenBubble.pm @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ package Games::FrozenBubble; -our $VERSION = '2.2.1'; +our $VERSION = '2.2.1beta1'; 1; the build script still says: Creating new 'Build' script for 'Games-FrozenBubble' version 'v2.2.1' additionally, the build breaks server/fb-server.c; e.g. It replaces the C string concatenation of VERSION (before your breakage of e6f581b438c163ce1d9edd932b07dc3caba24987) to the actual version.

Guillaume Cottenceau Hum. This is for an application (a game), not a module, and I want it to be clearly labelled as a beta release. So fine with 'There are no standard conventions for alphanumerics, and you just make life hard for the machines, which means no help for the humans.' But I don't see the big problem for machines and I don't know how to say 'hey this is beta' only with numbers; especially if '5.005_03 is equivalent to 5.5.30', I don't see how this could be considered to mark it beta/dev:/ Thanks for at Aug 4, 2010 at 8:12 pm.

David Golden Let me try to clarify. For a given Perl module called 'Foo', the '$Foo::VERSION' variable defines the version number that the perl interpreter will use to check against a minimum required version: use Foo 1.02; You can't put alphanumerics in $Foo::VERSION and have things behave nicely. However, a 'distribution' -- by which I mean a tarball containing Perl modules, can have any name/number you want. By convention, it should follow the same rules as for Perl module numbers, but it doesn't have. On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 4:12 PM, Guillaume Cottenceau wrote: Hum.

The big downside to alphanumerics is that various CPAN ecosystem tools may not know how to interpret it as a 'number'.

If you don't plan on releasing this to CPAN, then you don't have to worry about it. If you do, then you should be aware of the conventions. They evolved organically over time, if that helps explain why things are the way they are. This is for an application (a game), not a module, and I want it to be clearly labelled as a beta release.
