Often, users will take the version from Module->VERSION or $Module::VERSION and compare it to a number. This will issue a warning: package Module; our $VERSION = "1.1_2"; my $new = Module->VERSION > 1.1; Also, for modules that want to work properly on perls older than 5.10, leaving an underscore in the $VERSION will result in a `use` call throwing a warning.

> Yes, the underscore is still there. Why is that a problem? because a dev version will show on CPAN as a new release? update I dunno Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
