Besides using decimal numbers as package version number, it's also possible to use the dotted-decimal form (i.e. vX.Y.Z) in Perl. Currently, MooseX::Storage uses direct numeric comparison of the version strings which doesn't really work and it also spews "Argument ... isn't numeric in ..." warnings should the class define its version in dotted-decimal form. With this patch we're now creating version objects from the version strings, which accepts both decimal and dotted-decimal version formats as input and handles the comparison correctly.

Can you clarify when this problem would occur? CPAN::Meta::Spec (https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::Spec#VERSION-NUMBERS) says that '1.2.3' is an illegal version format -- versions should be either numeric, or bare v-strings, either of which should compare properly using the numeric operator. |
