If you upgrade to Perl::Critic 1.088, you'll start seeing the
following warnings on this test file:
t/codingstd/perlcritic.........................285/300 Argument
"5.008_000" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at
/home/coke/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Perl/Critic/Document.pm line
139.
Sure enough, we are using this style in a few places in parrot: seems
to be recommend by 'perldoc -f use' for backward compatibility (but
not readability).
--
~/sandbox/parrot$ ack --perl '5.008_000'
tools/dev/reconfigure.pl
6:use 5.008_000;
Makefile.PL
20:BEGIN { require 5.008_000 }
Configure.pl
6:use 5.008_000;

The P::C author recommends we ditch the syntax 'use 5.008_000;' and
instead go with 'use 5.008000';
Anyone object?
