Perl::Version does not actually deal with Perl-style versions, it only correctly works with version tuples which is one of the two Perl version styles (and the less prevalent one at that). See: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=110074, https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=114541, https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=119447, https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=124070, https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=54481, https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47501
Modern authors should not need any module to deal with Perl versions of either format since version.pm is used automatically. Version::Next can be used for correct version bumping.
