Show me the code that you are using. It _is_ true that
use version; our $VERSION = version->new(1.2);
is not the same thing as
use version; our $VERSION = version->new(1.2.0);
NOTE the lack of 'v' in either of those initializations (the second will
work only in Perl >= 5.8.2). See the discussion of "Numeric Versions"
for why you need to be consistent in your usage in order to get the
expected results.
You can also use the recommendation from Perl Best Practices:
use version; our $VERSION = qv("1.2");
which will do what I think you expected in all circumstances.
