What about v-strings, or the other equivalent forms of version number ?
Something similar to the version module will be part of Perl 5.10.0 .
In the example bellow, note that $a could also have been '1.2.3' or other forms
of version
number (see perldoc).
use version;
# Version comparison
# '1.2.3', 'v1.2.3', 1.2.3
my $a = qv( 'v1.2.3' );
my $b = qv( '1.2.29' );
# Compare
print +($a>$b) ? $a : $b;
