[Templates] BUG - template 2.15b - Template.pm line 36 - the "b" is the problem.

I'm setting up a BUGZILLA - and installing
all the Perl Modules ....
 
 I first ran into a problem with &quot;Template&quot;
where &quot;make test&quot; failed
 &nbsp;I forget what it was, but - the
google search landed me in a mail
 that was exactly my problem, the solution
was &quot;Try 2.15b&quot;
 
 That fixed it - &nbsp;Next problem -
when installing: Template-GD-2.66 - 
 (another optional thing for Bugzilla)
 
 I do this:
 
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; tar
xfz ./Template-GD-2.66.tar.gz
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; cd
Template-GD-2.66
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; perl
./Makefile.PL
 
 It *DIES* with:
 
 &gt;&gt; Argument &quot;2.15b&quot;
isn't numeric in numeric lt (&lt;) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
line 390.
 
 I believe, and I'm not a CPAN Perl person...
just a casual Perl Hack.. that the problem is caused by
 
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Template.pm
 
 which comes from Template-2.15b.
 
 Specifically Line: 37, where the $VERSION='2.15b'
 
 Perhaps your patch numbering scheme
is wrong... or something... &nbsp;I don't know enough about it
 
But to work around this problem I hand-edited the above &nbsp;file and
change it to &quot;2.15&quot;
 and the problem goes away.
 
 BTW - I'm not on the template.org mailing
lists.
