Re^4: Seeking thoughts on version numbers in modules

This is kind of a reply to both of you. CPAN has an item entitled "Finding packages and VERSION", in which it lists

...
perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -le \
        'print MM->parse_version(shift)' filename
[download]
If you are author of a package and wonder if your $VERSION can be parsed, please try the above method.

CPAN::DistnameInfo - Extract distribution name and version from a distribution filename.
