Bug#331098: RFA: libsort-versions-perl -- Perl module for sorting of revision (and similar) numbers



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libsort-versions-perl package.

The package description is:
 This is the CPAN Perl module Sort::Versions.
 .
 This module allows easy sorting (via comparisons) of mixed text and numeric
 strings, similar to the complex "version numbers" that many revision control
 packages and shared library systems use. For an explanation of the
 algorithm, it's easiest to look at these examples:
 .
  1.1   <  1.2
  1.1a  <  1.2
  1.1   <  1.1.1
  1.1   <  1.1a
  1.1.a <  1.1a
  1     <  a
  a     <  b
  1     <  2
 .
  (special handling for leading zeros)
  0002  <  1
  1.06  <  1.5
 .
  (a hyphen binds looser than a period)
  1-1 < 1-2
  1-2 < 1.2
