a) you are too late; I lost the fight to normalize extended version stringification on P5P before 5.10.0 was released b) you are too late: r25 | jpeacock | 2002-10-04 22:57:00 -0400 (Fri, 04 Oct 2002) | 2 lines Document extended decimal version parsing c) you are too late: From: Rafael Garcia-Suarez Date: December 18, 2007 10:12 Subject: Perl 5.10.0 is released I'm more than happy to remove/limit the documentation for qv(), which was always intended as a crutch for CVS users. But I really cannot change the transcoding algorithm now, nor do I want to. I'm going to do a survey of module versions on CPAN, so that rather than talking about "most authors" or "I always" or some other such fuzzy nonsense, we have a real scope of what is out there in the wild, which is what META.yml should be using as a basis for support, rather than the uninformed discussion that is taking place here...
