Ah, yes, that's right, the issue was that it converts it into a fairly
horrible "%.03" representation which requires me to change the use to e.g.
'use 1.002' for 1.2 and 1.02 or 1.020 for 1.20, which I don't like very much.

You have to do that with Perl versions, anyway:


use 5.008;

And since this is likely to be the way versions are supported in Perl 5.10, it's worthwhile to get used to it now.

I don't really like trying 'use qw($Revision 1.20$)' either, even if that
works.

I think it'd actually be


use My::Module 1.020;

Or

use My::Module version->new(1.2);

But I'm not sure. John will be able to tell you.

But coordinating with the 'version' author might be a good way to go, as David
Ralsky suggested; I'll look into it.

Yes, excellent idea. John has thought a lot about this stuff...

David
