Yes, we should all be using tags. However, it is much safer to do
## WARNING, UNTESTED CODE FROM MEMORY:::
($VERSION) = '$Revision$ =~ s/\$Revision: (.*)\$/$1/;
or something like that than remember to update the number each time you
release a Perl module since $VERSION is a critical part of 'make dist'. And
1.1.1.1 is a bad number for Perl versions. It's not a showstopper, it is
just annoying.
