I propose cherry-picking the following commits that fix version::is_strict and version::is_lax. In addition to being cherry picked to 5.12.1, they need to be cherry picked by John Peacock into the version.pm for CPAN. -- David commit 9b463b21d3655b79309f8b461042cebb5733c54e Author: David Golden <dagolden@cpan.org> Date: Sun Apr 25 20:26:44 2010 -0400 add tests for version::is_strict() and version::is_lax() commit 88f31b8c13e67525fb34e29a043ddcca6830c3e7 Author: David Golden <dagolden@cpan.org> Date: Sun Apr 25 19:51:07 2010 -0400 fix version::is_strict/is_lax exporting These were being exported with a wrapper that treated them as method calls, which causes them to fail. They are just functions, are documented as such, and should never be subclassed, so this patch just exports them directly as functions without the wrapper.Thread Next
