I upgraded to 1.029 and now, with Module::ScanDeps 1.20, have a strange problem. I have to use -u as I always need all the Unicode stuff, however, this flag packs unicore/version twice, once in lib/unicore/version and once in lib/version. This latter conflicts with lib/version/regex.pm (which I assume is from the v5.16 pragma which I use a lot). If I take out the "-u" flag, *both* of the unicore lines below disappear so it doesn't seem to be something else that is packing the unicore stuff.

I just tried the 1.029_04 dev version and it's fixed there - any idea of the release date for this? I really need this module for releases and the current state is broken for me.

I just released 1.030 (almost identical to 1.029_04).

Phil, sorry for inconvenience - I held back on a release trying to get to the
bottom of some (unrelated) failure reports from CPAN testers.

Cheers, Roderich
