Rt 3.0.9 and DBIx::SearchBuilder 0.97

I believe the powers that be are aware of this, but this is an
unpleasant trap for the unwary (i.e. most users):

The 0.97 version of DBIx::SearchBuilder that you get if you install via
the CPAN module is not the correct version needed for 3.0.9 (the
Columns object doesn’t exist.)

It seems that this should be fixed on CPAN. Barring this, I would have
hoped for a special note in the README or UPGRADING files.

Thanks,
Kevin

I upgraded yesterday using a CPAN mirror and didn’t run into any problems…?

It’s the Columns method on the DBIx::SearchBuilder class. And according
to the copy I downloaded from CPAN, it does very much exist. I’d bet
that you’ve probably rebuilt perl and not rebuilt mod_perl…and that’s
causing you to get old versions of modules.

OK, OK! I confess, I went off half-cocked, for which I apologize.
CPAN is dispensing 0.97_02.
