No, if you are using two dots, the current CPAN version.pm code will output the
same thing that you input:
$ perl -Mversion -e '$v = qv("2.004.0"); print $v'
2.004.0
as opposed to:
$ perl -Mversion -e '$v = qv("2.004"); print $v'
v2.004
Forcing the leading 'v' is the only way to make sure that the stringified form
can be round-tripped successfully.
