  Parsing a version number
    version->parse, obviously enough, is used to parse a version number
    string into a structure:

     use Data::Dump;
     dd( version->parse("1.2.3") );

    which prints:

     bless({ original => "1.2.3", qv => 1, version => [1, 2, 3] }, "version")

    However:

     dd( version->parse("1.2.3_01") );

    prints:

     bless({ alpha => 1, original => "1.2.3_01", qv => 1, version => [1, 2, 301] }, "version")

  Comparing version numbers
    You can compare two version numbers again using version->parse():

     version->parse($str1) <=> version->parse($str2)

    For example:

     version->parse("1.2.3") <=> version->parse("v1.3.0");  # => -1
