INHERITANCE
         PPI::Token::Number::Version

DESCRIPTION
       The "PPI::Token::Number::Version" class is used for tokens that have
       multiple decimal points.  In truth, these aren't treated like numbers
       at all by Perl, but they look like numbers to a parser.

METHODS
   base
       Returns the base for the number: 256.

   literal
       Return the numeric value of this token.

BUGS
       - Does not handle leading minus sign correctly. Should translate to a
       DashedWord.  See <http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=574573>

         -95.0.1.0  --> "-_\000\cA\000"
         -96.0.1.0  --> Argument "`\0^A\0" isn't numeric in negation (-)

SUPPORT
       See the support section in the main module.
