Subject: Treatment of underscore versions inconsistent with version.pm
Consider the 0.98_05 release of Test::More: its code has: our $VERSION = '0.98_05'; $VERSION = eval $VERSION; Test::More->VERSION returns 0.9805, but Module::Metadata->new_...->version returns 0.98_05. This results in various comparisons failing, e.g. version.pm objects. (If modules with underscores *must* eval their $VERSION on the same line, so that Module::Metadata can take that into account, then we should fix all core modules that violate this, and think about ways of communicating this issue - metrics in Module::CPANTS::Analyse and perlcritic? Can we do something in PAUSE?)

But the eval fixes other version comparisons: use Test::More 0.98_05; # compiled as 0.9805 It's a hack to make the use line work with an alpha. The issue, as always, is knowing what questions are being asked and thus what semantics need to be considered.

I phrased this question in a boneheaded way, and we will be addressing underscore versions in version.pm anyway.
