It looks like version tuples are not recognised when used directly as
hash keys in perl5.5.650.

  $ perl -MO=Deparse -e '$hash{v1.2.3.4}++;'
  ++$hash{'v1' . 2.3 . 4};
  -e syntax OK

Also, with perl5.005_03 this is deparsed as:

  $ perl -MO=Deparse -e '$hash{v1.2.3.4}++;'
  -e syntax OK
  ++$hash{'v12.34'};

Is perl5.5.650 less clever with constant folding?
And why did the "-e syntax OK" line come last with perl5.5.650?  Just
a buffering coincidence?
