My understanding is that $VERSION = '1.05'; is still valid, and passes
both the "lax" and "strict" test of version.pm. What seems to be not
valid anymore, neither in lax nor strict test are versions like "1.28a"
or generally versions with alpha components.
I also think that the lax test should revert the former behavior.
