Ask the authors of nearly half of CPAN that question who can't get the
regular version either in there or in there correctly :)
vstrings are fine, but I don't think it will help the current problem of
so many people not getting the basic form right. It also might cause some
confusion on the user end of things as having one module be v1.0 and
another be 1.00, etc. Whatever gets more authors using versions in their
modules can't be all bad though.
