The generally recommended practice now is to use $VERSION =~ tr/_//d;
A much better idea, IMO.
And, if I ever release another devel version of a module, that's what I'll use.
Cheers, Rob
PS
I haven't been releasing devel versions for a while now.
Apparently, not all smokers test devel releases, and it was not uncommon for me to have the devel version pass everywhere, only to fail on some other smoker as soon as it became a stable release.
I couldn't see the point in that. Instead, I choose to do broad based testing locally and then do a stable release.
