That seems excessively...noisy. Maybe something more like:
%?COMPILER pugs => 6.2.12
%?COMPILER.key pugs
%?COMPILER.value 6.2.12
or just a simple
%?COMP pugs
%?COMP_VERSION 6.2.12
or something OOey like
%?COMP.name pugs
%?COMP.version 6.2.12
Getting rid of a %?CONFIG hash was half the motivation for $? vars
in the first place.
In any event "versnum" sounds like "verse number" to people like me.
