Hello Robin, firstly versions with underscore are development releases and we add them into distribution usually, when they are fixing some serious bugs and we can't want wait for stable release. Secondly, version 1.94 is quite old, and I don't see it in any Fedora. You can find it in Changes [1], so it does exist. RPM can't handle underscores in releases and also it compares versions differently than cpan. Example: cpan: 1.94 < 1.9401 < 1.95 but rpm: 1.94 < 1.95 < 1.9401 So, if you see different version in Fedora and in cpan, we are only trying to fix it for rpm.
