New versioning format breaks cpanm about autobox HOT 9 CLOSED

I suggest closing this issue since it has nothing to do with the autobox's versioning scheme, and move to miyagawa/cpanminus#574 although i can't reproduce with the combination of cpanm, perl and version.pm that i have.

That doesn't make sense. A version object will compare fine with a number.

perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -Mversion -E'say version->declare("v3.0.1") >= "2.86" ? 1 : 0'

What version of Perl, version.pm, and cpanm are you using?

Why isn't this a bug of cpanm? This block in particular is many many many different flavors of wrong:

                      ? $self->numify_ver($version) < $self->numify_ver($local)
                          ? "downgraded"
                          : "upgraded"
                      : undef;

Side note: a more common way to write requires 'autobox', '>= 2.86'; would be requires 'autobox', '2.86'; (version ranges are greater-than-or-equals by default).

Closing this as I can't reproduce it without more information on where the error occurs.

@DrHyde if you have more details, please provide them and I'll take another look.
