Unfortunately, this module fails for some simple cases:

use Sort::Versions; print join(" ",sort versions qw(1.2a 1.10a)),"\n";
produces     1.10a 1.2a

Note that this matches the behavior described in the module's documentation, but I think it isn't what most people would want.

I've been considering patching the module to make it more useful...
