dotted-integer is technically wrong, too, since we're really talking dotted-non-negative-integers Or we could call them ISO 2145 versions C.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_2145 Googling "dotted decimal", "dot decimal" and "dotted integer" all seem to give similar stuff. But for what it's worth, perl56delta describes the new version numbering scheme as "dotted integer". -- David
