| Subject: | decreasing versions |
Versions with 2 dots are converted to real numbers. 0.1.1 means 0.001001. So 0.1 > 0.1.1.
Versions with one dot are real numbers. So 0.9 > 0.10.
Best is to delete distributions that have bigger versions that latest or just any old versions (that will help new installations). And upload new distribution with correct version (that will help users that have older version installed).
You can check this using version->parse:
perl -Mversion -E"say version->parse('1.1')->normal"
v1.100.0
perl -Mversion -E"say version->parse('1.1.1')->normal"
v1.1.1
perl -Mversion -E"say version->parse('1.1') <=> version->parse('1.1.1')"

It is recommended to increase major version when switching between one dot and two dot schemes.
