Version::Compare gets it right (right for what you are expecting):

perl -MVersion::Compare -E 'say Version::Compare::version_compare("450
+.80.82","450.57")'

It's about 50 lines of code including whitespace and has no non-core dependencies at runtime. I've found it to be able to handle versions such as PHP versions, WordPress versions, and Linux-typical versions.
