This looks suspiciously like a registry value. The reg stores version numbers as a REG_DWORD (hex number), and I'll wager that if you looked up your Perl info in it, you'd see something like 0x05008005. "Somehow," this would decode to 5.008005, or maybe translate directly to 5.8.5. Anyway, the info's there. I've been trying to read software stuff in the registry, so I've been seeing a lot of this.
Just my $0.02....
