Is there any compelling reason to allow "\d+\.\d\d_\d\d" ?
And, I have a 'v' and two '.'s in mine. Of course, Schwern will tell
you we shouldn't even have one '.' in the number.
The alpha packages should really be identified by something
like '-ALPHA' (btw: '.TRIAL\d.' is already supported.)
Isn't version.pm builtin to 5.10.0?
