Hello Charles

Sorry for the late reply. There was one mailing list I forgot to subscribe 
to...

Anyway, Perl version number are notoriously hard to manage. In this case, 
Parse::RecDescent switched from a string version (1.95.1) to number version 
(1.96). This makes version comparison very likely to fail.

Anyway, since dependencies are now checked by Build.PL (upstream) and dpkg (in 
Debian), I'll remove the version check from ValueComputer.pm in next upstream 
version of Config::Model.

Thanks for the report.

Dominique
