Version::Compare gets it right (right for what you are expecting): 

perl -MVersion::Compare -E 'say Version::Compare::version_compare("450
+.80.82","450.57")'
1

[download]

It's about 50 lines of code including whitespace and has no non-core dependencies at runtime. I've found it to be able to handle versions such as PHP versions, WordPress versions, and Linux-typical versions.

    Yep. Once again the wisdom shows itself: "Check CPAN first!" No matter what it is you want to do, someone's probably already done it for you.
