It seems to me that a version object is far more useful in general than whatever crap happened to be put into $VERSION -- and the latter can be fetched directly, anyway. Version objects are far more useful to others who consume $VERSION, but module authors may reasonable expect $VERSION not to be modified from outside their own code. That was the crux of my argument and I'll stick with it, annoyances as you cite to the contrary. -- DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
