In this chapter:
http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html#conventions
it is explained that the PAUSE indexer uses such a piece of code:
% perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -le 'print MM->parse_version(shift)'
lib/ModPerl/DummyVersions.pm
0.009
I think that the only way out for complex distribution architectures
like this one is that the architects write their own META.yml and take
the duty from the indexer.
