E.g.: $ perl -e "$v = q{v2.61.129}; print 0+$v" 0It's not correct without the v either, but at least you get warnings in either case. $ perl -we '$v = q{2.61.129}; print 0+$v' Argument "2.61.129" isn't numeric in addition (+) at -e line 1. 2.61 Isn't the numeric form "2.610129" ? If you're really concerned about non version-enabled code, seems like that would be the way to do it.
Not quite. The numeric form that version.pm is documented to put out is 2.061129 in that case. (to make 2.100.xxx > 2.99.xxx)
But in my opinion, comparing on version.pm->numify would still be the best idea, I think.
