okay, i think i grok that (high probability, at least :)
but as for $VERSION within the perl code, how can i have CVS
maintain the number directly, so it won't interfere with
"perl Makefile.PL" as it's doing now?
even $VERSION = "$Revision$" has trouble, so i've tried
$VERSION = ("$Revision: 1.1 $" =~ /(\d+\.?\d*)/)[0];
but i still wind up with a makefile that contains
VERSION = undef
VERSION_SYM = undef
XS_VERSION = undef
which causes trouble at
@$(PERL) -e "print qq{<SOFTPKG NAME=\"SECSed\" VERSION=\"undef,0,0,0\">\n}.
qq{\t<TITLE>SECSed</TITLE>\n}. qq{\t<ABSTRACT></ ABSTRACT>\n}.
qq{\t<AUTHOR></AUTHOR>\n}. qq{\t<IMPLEMENTATION>\n}. qq{\t\t<OS
NAME=\"$(OSNAME)\" />\n}. qq{\t\t<ARCHITECTURE NAME=\" i386-linux\" />\n}.
qq{\t\t<CODEBASE HREF=\"\" />\n}. qq{\t</IMPLEMENTATION>\n}. qq{</SOFTPKG>\n}"

[particularly the VERSION="undef,0,0,0" part.]
the versioning numbers should look like this, instead:
VERSION = 0.01
VERSION_SYM = 0_01
XS_VERSION = 0.01
how can i do that with
# perl
$VERSION = '$some-magic-CVS-incantation$';

:
So exactly WHICH SHELL ARE YOU RUNNING? Simply try
echo $SHELL
or
printenv SHELL
AFAIK any shell that does not set $SHELL is broken.
