CPAN thinks of them both as 2.60, and doesn't differentiate between finals and RC's.

Update with a tarball.


Great. We'll have to avoid using rcN designations in future I think...


I think that there was some discussion about changing the CPAN indexer to use the 'version' modules I am writing, but I don't know how far that is going (and I know I haven't been exactly productive on that subject lately[1]). Even so, it is better to use pure numeric versions for the foreseeable future.

[1] I do have the first pass for a version::Math modules which will permit useful incrementing of version objects, including version::AlphaBeta modules, so this would work:

        use version::AlphaBeta qw (DEVEL_NUMBER);
        $VERSION = "2.60rc6"; # automatic version::AlphaBeta->new("2.60rc6")
        $VERSION++; # version is now 2.60rc7

I intend to include a sample script called 'release' which will perform in-place increment of the master $VERSION for a project using well defined version math.
