No longer the case; version-0.7203 now returns the same string that was
used to initialize a version object as the default stringification. The
internal representation is no longer overtly visible (though you can get
it via ->numify or ->normal). The one time that the string input isn't
equal to the string output is qv() without a leading 'v' and only one
decimal place, which appears to be the case here:
use version; our $VERSION = qv('2.004');
qv() is not a generic-version-object-creation function; it forces the
extended version interpretation. The above should be either of:
use version; our $VERSION = version->new('2.004');
use version; our $VERSION = qv('v2.4.0');
with the former probably more appropriate in this case (since that
matches what CPAN thinks the $VERSION is)...
