In perl the version '1.10' means the number 1.010 - and the number 1.1001 means the version string '1.100.1'. If the next version you release is '1.11', every use IO::CaptureOutput 1.1001; will report an error

That sort of version magic only applies to versions of perl itself. E.g. 5.10.0 is really 5.010. For CPAN modules, as long as there is only one decimal point in the version number, they are interpreted simply as monotonically-increasing rational numbers. See http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?version for more on the mind-boggling complexity of version numbers. -- David
