Casey West wrote a neat module called Pod::Simple::31337 the other day. And we thought "Hm, a numeric module name, that shouldn't cause any trouble".
But when I look at http://search.cpan.org/author/sburke/Pod-Simple-0.90/ It says: This Release Pod-Simple-0.90 11 Sep 2002 Latest Release Pod-Simple-31337-0.02 27 Sep 2002 Apparently it's parsing Pod-Simple-31337-0.02 as version Pod-Simple, version 31337-0.02 ! The question is, what is "it" -- CPAN, PAUSE, or search.cpan.org? And how to fix this? -- Sean M. Burke http://www.spinn.net/~sburke/
