cpanm can't install Time::Out because cpanm packs too old of version.pm

[djerius]

cpanm v1.7047 packages version v0.9912.

Time::Out requires version v0.9915:

interestingly this succeeds with cpanm 1.7046 for me. Upgraded to 1.7047 locally and it started failing.

[djerius]

1.7047 is the version on CPAN; maybe the version on CPAN just needs to be upgraded?

[miyagawa]

Actually, upgrading and then downgrading to 1.7046 fails, so something else should be going on.

[djerius]

FWIW, v1.9022 (latest on github) works.

TBH I wish the distribution doesn't use that syntax but it's unfortunately legal to do so and it's fixed in 1.7048.
