The attached patch adds  '$VERSION = eval $VERSION' so that numeric
comparisons on version can be done by other module such as DBI which
currently produces the following error for 'perl Makefile.PL':

Writing Makefile for DBI
Argument "6.55_02" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at Makefile.PL line 110.

The added statement is the 'standard' method of handling development
version numbers.
