From @steve-m-hay

Created by @steve-m-hay

The use of trailing zeros in perl version numbers (e.g. in the keys of %released
and %version) is inconsistent, leading to difficulty in looking anything up in
them.

For example, v5.9.0 appears as 5.009 but not 5.009000, whereas v5.10.0 appears
as 5.010000 but not 5.010 (or 5.01).

Some versions do have both forms, e.g. v5.19.0 appears as both 5.019
and 5.019000. It would probably be simplest if every version with
trailing zeros existed in both forms like that.

As far as I know, the source of this is that $] didn't use to have trailing
zeros, but since 5.10 it does. M​::CL must always be able to accept $]. I
don't think duplication is much of a good idea, but having some kind of
aliasing may be worthwhile.
