Re: Underscores in version numbers?

Mostly.  I just went through installing some modules, and I don't have any
details, and in the middle of trying to install something, CPAN went and tried
to install perl5.8.8; I'll go back over my steps and confirm.

In practice, yes, but there have been times when bleadperl was used to prove the
changes were stable, prior to release to CPAN, so I wouldn't count on the
underscores being completely unimportant.  If the CPAN release is identical to
the core release, indeed the $VERSION should also be identical.  Doesn't Randal
have a script he runs from time to time to check this?
