Hello, With the deprecation of v-strings in Perl 5.8.1, what is the suggested method to version a Perl module using the x.x.x notation? I started using the x.x.x notation for the Net::SNMP module in November of 2001. I originally just set the $VERSION variable to a quoted string "x.x.x", but this caused problems with the CPAN module. It could not distinguish between "3.9.1" and "3.9.2". I asked the same question at that time and was told to use v-strings. Now that v-string are deprecated, what is the suggested method for versioning? I want to be compatible with Perl 5.6.0 and beyond. Thank you, -David Town <dtown@cpan.org> Via, but not speaking for Marconi Communications, Inc. ========== Net::SNMP bug reported via rt.cpan.org: [cpan #5262] Perl 5.8.1 & Net::SNMP 4.1.2 warning This message about Net-SNMP was sent to you by guest <> via rt.cpan.org Full context and any attached attachments can be found at: <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5262 > When runnig under "perl -w" i get warnings: v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP.pm line 109. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/Message.pm line 24. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/PDU.pm line 24. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/MessageProcessing.pm line 25. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/Dispatcher.pm line 25. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/Security.pm line 26. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/Security/Community.pm line 29. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/Security/USM.pm line 36. v-strings are deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Net/SNMP/Transport/UDP.pm line 28.Thread Next
