confused about version numbers.


I recently realized that I needed a feature from
Bio::Search::Hit::GenericHit that exists in the svn trunk but isn't in
the CPAN's version bioperl-1.5.2_102.

I thought I'd just specify a version number in my Build.PL and that
way I could sleep soundly.

But, it looks like $Version in CPAN's Bio::Root::Version is
1.005002_102 while in the trunk it's 1.005002_100.

What's the proper way for a Build.PL to be sure that it has a current
bioperl?

Re: confused about version numbers.

Here's the general recommendation from the FAQ:

http://bio.perl.org/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_tell_what_version_of_BioPerl_is_installed.3F

Not sure the recommended way to do this from a Build.PL. You could so such
checking within a BEGIN block in your Build.PL, perhaps.

Fixed. It's now 1.005002_103.

Your method was sound, I think.
