Package: libmodule-starter-perl
Version: 1.580+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
When starting a fresh module with MakeMaker e.g. with
module-starter --module Test -eumm --author "John Doe" --email
"j...@example.com"
The Makefile.PL contains a test:
($ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION >= 6.3002
? ('LICENSE'=> 'perl')
: ()),
However, the $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION is a string '6.57_05'.
When running
perl Makefile.PL
it prints an error:
Argument "6.57_05" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at Makefile.PL line 6.
The solution is to use Revision instead of VERSION.
I'll attach a patch. It doesn't seem to affect the generated Makefile on my
system.
