Yes, it will be bundled with 5.10, but is not too widespread now
outside of the immediate community. I think that the extra dependency
just for a version number would be annoying to a significant subset
of DBD::Pg users.
A three-number version is really a necessity however, else there is
no easy
way to tell a minor bug fix from a normal next-version-with-new-
features
release, a problem we've had in the past.
Sure there is. Use the second decimal place to indicate. A major
update would be 1.60 or 2.10, while a minor update would be 1.61 or
2.11.
If you really want to user three-number versions, though, you can
single quote them, no big whoop. We just can't ever change back
(though I think that they will just magically be version.pm objects
in 5.10).
Best,
