Nothing special. I will try to keep a synchronization between C and perl
libraries. If and when incompatible changes will be introduced, I will
increase the library version. I.e. future scripts containing the line:

  use FVWM::Module 2.1;  # at least version 2.1 is needed

will fail with the current library (version 1.1).

In the future we may use the same version number in both libraries,
making it a part of the module protocol if you think this is needed.
But the perl module library is not more special than the C one, except
that most of perl constants are autogenerated from C ones.

Regards,
Mikhael.
