I think you could make the solution more general by incrementing what you find in the pattern although this would break if the major version changed or they got to SW_V02.100.
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(SW_V02\.)(\d\d)/$1 . sprintf("%02d", $2 + 1)/e;' f +ilename.txt
You may need to change my quotes if not working on Unix.
