But that's not what the module had:

perl -le "print '100_200_300'"
100_200_300

Once I determined to use an underscore to denote an alpha version (and that boat
has long since sailed), then I had to validate the format (no periods after the
underscore and only one underscore allowed).

Actually, had that release been uploaded to PAUSE, I believe the CPAN indexer
code would have choked just as readily... ;-)
