Is there a good reason to put these underscores into the version numbers?
It doesn't matter that much for blead, but in released version I find it
annoying that they generate warnings.  E.g. with 5.8.8:

  perl -we "use Data::Dumper 2;"
  Argument "2.121_08" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at -e line 1.

I think only unreleased/beta versions should use these kind of version
numbers for modules.  Can't we just leave out the underscore and use

  our $VERSION = 1.1801;

instead, if we want to differentiate the core version from the CPAN version?

Cheers,
-Jan
