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;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
