NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitVersionStrings - Don't use strings like "v1.4" or
       "1.4.5" when including other modules.

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Whenever you "use" or "require" a module, you can specify a minimum version requirement.  To ensure
       compatibility with older Perls, this version number should be expressed as a floating-point number.  Do
       not use v-strings or three-part numbers.  The Perl convention for expressing version numbers as floats
       is: version + (patch level / 1000).

           use Foo v1.2    qw(foo bar);  # not ok
           use Foo 1.2.03  qw(foo bar);  # not ok
           use Foo 1.00203 qw(foo bar);  # ok

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
