No, and that is not the point. 5.8.x@30165 updated
Text::Balanced to 2.0.0 except for the following:
+# I really don't want to bring the XS version module into maint. So
for now,
+# I'm commiting the sin of Bowdlerising Damian's module:
+# use version; $VERSION = qv('2.0.0');
+$VERSION = 2.000000;
The problem with this is that after building and installing
5.8.x@30165, and then running 'r' from the CPAN prompt, you
get:
Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file
...
Text::Balanced 2 2.000000
DCONWAY/Text-Balanced-v2.0.0.tar.gz
...
This is no good. It show there that an update is needed
when there shouldn't be. My patch (which quotes the
2.000000) fixes this so that the above does not show up.
