Suppose that in package Someones::Module I have:
#####
$Someones::Module::VERSION = '1.4417_001';
#####
And then in a different module I have:
#####
die "Need more recent version of Someones::Module" unless
$Someones::Module::VERSION >= "1.40";
#####
This will generate a warning like this:
#####
Argument "1.4417_001" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at ...
#####
I would like to submit a patch for the relevant module. What is the
recommended way of numifying $Someones::Module::VERSION in the '>='
comparison?
Or is there a better approach?
Thank you very much.
