+# Field arrangement: DistName, DevVersion, StableVersion, VersionFrom
+# Field definitions:
+#   DistName: CPAN distribution name; http://search.cpan.org/dist/DistName
+#   DevVersion: Development version; what we are now trying compatibility with
+#   StableVersion: Stable version; what we know works with LON-CAPA
+#   VersionFrom: The first part is a perl module name.  To understand the
+#                parenthesized part, first remember that sometimes a module
+#                version equals the distribution version.  Other times,
+#                the distribution version does not equal the version number
+#                of any module.
+#                The parenthesized value can consist of an ordered pair,
+#                or an asterisk.  If the value is an asterisk, the version
+#                numbers of the module equals the DevVersion and
+#                StableVersion of the distribution.  If the value is an
+#                ordered pair, the version numbers of the module correspond to
+#                that ordered pair in terms of Dev and Stable respectively.
+#                The reason for this is that for distributions like "libnet",
+#                the distribution version is NOT
+#                derived from any constitutive module.  Therefore, we hope
+#                that the VersionFrom module version changes quick enough for
+#                there to be a unique association with the distribution
+#                version.
