version.pm - Version objects for Perl

Perl 5.10.0 will include built in version objects that facilitate the correct usage of versions, handling both numeric versions (like 5.005_03) as well as extended versions (like v5.8.7). This differs from the v-string code which was introduced in Perl 5.6.0 because these are true objects.

This CPAN module offers a completely compatible version object for all Perl releases from 5.005_03 forward. It even provides a pure Perl implementation for those machines without an effective C compiler.

This SourceForge site will contain only the Subversion repository for ongoing development of the compatibility release. All other facets of this module will be handled through the normal channels:

1. Primary distribution will be through the CPAN mirrors.
2. Support requests should be submitted to the RT queue
3. Feature requests should be sent to the author

You can read the current module documentation here.

Thanks for using my module!
