This is a bug report for perl from steve.m.hay@googlemail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.19.12.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

The use of trailing zeros in perl version numbers (e.g. in the keys of %released
and %version) is inconsistent, leading to difficulty in looking anything up in
them.

For example, v5.9.0 appears as 5.009 but not 5.009000, whereas v5.10.0 appears
as 5.010000 but not 5.010 (or 5.01).

Some versions do have both forms, e.g. v5.19.0 appears as both 5.019
and 5.019000. It would probably be simplest if every version with
trailing zeros existed in both forms like that.

[Please do not change anything below this line]
