Well, first of all, ARSperl never stated that is uses semantic
versioning AFAIK; and semantic versioning means it would use a x.y.z
style and not the x.y style which ARSperl uses.
Also, CPAN does not handle semantic versioning well; it basically only
handles numbers or versions such as 1.94, 1.95 properly, if you'd
introduce a second dot things will start breaking.

And dropping ARAPI below 4.5 REALLY would not be a breaking thing as
4.5 was released I think in 2002 or earlier; also older versions of
the ARSperl package are still available, and people can even connect
to such old Remedy systems using 5, 6 or 7.x client libraries.

If the ARSPerl module is all polished up it might be a nice time to
"up" the version number to 2.00.
