Having the 'v' in version number appears to cause issues on older Perls #55

Closed neilb closed 6 years ago

neilb commented 8 years ago

You might want to consider dropping the 'v' from the version number. If you look at the test failures for my module that uses Mouse, you'll see that I require 0.94 or later, but get the error:

Error: Mouse version 0.94 required--this is only version v2.4.5

As a result I'm going to switch to Moo -- those versions of Mouse are going to stay out there, and will continue to cause failures.

I realise that this will be down to an issue with older versions of some part of the toolchain (eg CPAN), but that's the reality if you want to support older versions of Perl (eg 5.8.*).

Cheers, Neil

To drop 'v' causes Mouse test failure on older Perl such as 5.8, hmm.

From https://github.com/gfx/p5-Mouse/commit/0d13a7a3ecc1ffeeeeacc8b9bbba55d7eeea25c6, Mouse will use version->declare syntax. I believe this issue was resolved.
