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.
