Right.

I think that this is the way that it will have to go before long.  
What with Damian encouraging everyone to use version.pm for their  
version objects, we're already seeing distributions such as "Class- 
Std-v0.0.8" (what's with the "v"?). After the next release of  
Module::Build, if a new version of Class::Std is released, it will be  
"Class-Std-000009". Some might find that annoying. And why very few  
modules use version.pm now, I would expect that to start to change in  
the next year.

Best,
