10 Just have a look on CPAN module versions. You'll see that it's much more common than you think. Just few examples:
11 http://search.cpan.org/~pip/Math-BaseCnv-1.6.A6FGHKE/
12 http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MMCLERIC/Ubic-1.58_01-TRIAL/
13
14 And so on. There are much more than that. Also strange version translations, where new release may just start to use new version scheme. And so on, and so on.
