+Four digit versions (1.2301)
+
+Use version schema 1.23_01 for rpm and 1.2301 for perl, for example IO module
+http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/packages/perl-IO/perl-IO.spec?only_with_tag=auto-th-perl-IO-1_23_01-3
+
+This way you can avoid rpm epoch bumps as perl versions grow 1.2301 -> 1.24,
+but for rpm in that case 1.2301 is greater than 1.24

 TODO to remove these:
