I went to using 3 part version strings, gave up on them after problems
with CPAN, PAUSE, ExtUtils::MakeMaker and so on. I reverted back to
decimal format, and in addition, I ensure that my version numbers
always have 3 significant digits because trailing zeros tend to get
truncated with things like 'make dist'. Thus, I go from 0.09 to 0.11,
and 1.99 to 2.01. This seems to make everything happy and sane.

Yes. It was discussed thoroughly on Perl Monks:
