in reply to Implementation question in perl: Version comparisons.

Update: $VERSION="Hi" does not give this error! But $VERSION="2.3.4" does.

So, it appears to be looking for strings that contain string-formatted versions. Hmm, if that's what it's testing for, why not just convert it? I suppose it can still be fooled by v50.46.51.
