NAME
Acme::CPANModules::OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap - List of CPAN
distributions which have been trapped by the one- and two decimal digits
versioning scheme
VERSION
This document describes version 0.003 of
Acme::CPANModules::OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap (from Perl
distribution Acme-CPANModules-OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap),
released on 2023-10-29.
DESCRIPTION
The x.y and x.yy versioning scheme used in Perl distribution has a trap:
when you release a new version by incrementing the patchlevel part into
x.y.z and x.yy.z, the new version number will be *less* than x.y and
x.yy because x.y and x.yy will numify to x.y00 and x.yy0 respectivey;
while x.y.z and x.yy.z will numify to x.00y.z and x.0yy, respectively.
So if you release Acme-MyDist-0.1 (numifies to 0.100000) then
Acme-MyDist-0.1.1 (0.001001), or Acme-MyDist-0.01 (0.010000) then
Acme-MyDist-0.01.1 (0.001001), PAUSE will *refuse* to index your new
version because of "decreasing version number."
This does *not* happen when you release Acme-MyDist-0.001 (0.001000) and
then Acme-MyDist-0.001.1 (0.001001).
This thing is peculiar to Perl, and is not intuitive. Consequently,
sometimes CPAN authors are not familiar with this and thus have fallen
into this trap.
This list chronicles distributions which have been trapped by this.

ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES
Validate::Simple
From 0.01 to 0.01.1.
Author: ANDREIP
Author's comment in ChangeLog: "Change version properly."
Bencher
From 0.46 to 0.46.1.
Author's comment in ChangeLog: "This version number is broken
because 0.46 > 0.46.1 because 0.46 normalizes to 0.460.000 while
0.46.1 is 0.046.100. This has happened a few times to me in other
distributions too, so perhaps it's time to consider switching to a
3-digit minor version."

than 0.02 (d'oh)."
FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list
of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to
categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more
details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::OneAndTwoDecimalDigitsVersionTrap::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See
App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
