Okay, but there does seem to be a conversion problem. Witness this test:

use strict;
use version;
use Test::More tests => 1;

my $v = version->new('0.0.1');
my $nv = version->new($v->numify);
is $nv, $v;

The output:

1..1
not ok 1
#   Failed test in /Users/david/bin/try at line 8.
#          got: '0.000001'
#     expected: 'v0.0.1'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.

Shouldn't they be the same?

Best,
