My first version usually is 0.01. And the one after that is 0.02. I continue adding 0.01 for every subsequent release, unless a large portion was rewritten (bump to the next x.x0), or almost everything was rewritten (bump to the next x.00).

But if a module is at 0.xx even though it's in production use, profiled well, and has no known bugs *after a lot of use*, I might add 1 to the version, so that 0.24 can become 1.24. This is because users do indeed for some reason appear to think that the version number actually has meaning.

Well, unless you know how a certain author uses the digits available, IT DOESN'T MEAN A THING. Proof: File::Slurp.

The only rules are that a newer version must have a higher version number, and that the CPAN indexers understand your format.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
