Feedback is welcome, though I'd rather not talk about the way I
determine the version number. It works for all known versions of

I don't think I like it. It makes me nervous for some reason... For
example, who's to say what constitutes a bad version of an installer
(actually, this only applies to M::I, since the other installers aren't
generally bundled, but I don't mind defending M::I here). In this case,
you've declared every version prior to some arbitrary release to be bad.
I doubt that is the case. I think there might have been problems with
one or two releases, but being an old release is not the same as being a
flawed release.
There is a particular incompatibility between Module::Install pre-0.61
and the current ActiveState Perl release. (build 817). So yes, if you
are on Windows, anything before 0.61 *is* bad!
This was discussed in a different thread recently.
If we found out that 0.62 had a really dangerous bug, but 0.61 and 0.63
didn't, then we could easily add a hash of known-to-be-bad versions.
Incidentially, that includes 0.60 and earlier. :)
