You're looking at http://testers.astray.com/show/MIME-Lite-HTML.html. I'm actually sorting using version.pm at the moment, as it seemed to be the most comprehensive. Sort::Versions didn't really do the right thing for module versions. See what version.pm says: kanga% perl -e 'use version; print version->new("1.9")' 1.900 kanga% perl -e 'use version; print version->new("1.10")' 1.100 perlmodstyle says: The most common CPAN version numbering scheme looks like this: 1.00, 1.10, 1.11, 1.20, 1.30, 1.31, 1.32 00modlist.long.html says: To be fully compatible with the Exporter and MakeMaker modules you should store your module's version number in a non-my package variable called $VERSION. This should be a valid floating point number with at least two digits after the decimal (ie hundredths, e.g, $VERSION = "0.01"). See Exporter.pm for details. Thus, I think that my website is correct in sorting the version numbers. 1.2 should be later than 1.18. I think your versioning system is wrong ;-) http://dellah.org/testers/MIME-Lite-HTML gets the version sorting wrong but "right". How do you sort, Iain? http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=MIME-Lite-HTML keeps on timing out, so I don't know what it does. Graham? Now maybe I should ignore the version numbers and instead sort using the dates that the module was uploaded to CPAN, but that's external information, bah.
