# Fraction part of a decimal version number.  This is a common part of
# both strict and lax decimal versions

my $FRACTION_PART = qr/\.[0-9]+/;

# First part of either decimal or dotted-decimal strict version number.
# Unsigned integer with no leading zeroes (except for zero itself) to
# avoid confusion with octal.

my $STRICT_INTEGER_PART = qr/0|[1-9][0-9]*/;

# First part of either decimal or dotted-decimal lax version number.
# Unsigned integer, but allowing leading zeros.  Always interpreted
# as decimal.  However, some forms of the resulting syntax give odd
# results if used as ordinary Perl expressions, due to how perl treats
# octals.  E.g.
#   version->new("010" ) == 10
#   version->new( 010  ) == 8
#   version->new( 010.2) == 82  # "8" . "2"

# Second and subsequent part of a strict dotted-decimal version number.
# Leading zeroes are permitted, and the number is always decimal.
# Limited to three digits to avoid overflow when converting to decimal
# form and also avoid problematic style with excessive leading zeroes.

my $STRICT_DOTTED_DECIMAL_PART = qr/\.[0-9]{1,3}/;

# Second and subsequent part of a lax dotted-decimal version number.

# limit on the numerical value or number of digits, so there is the
# possibility of overflow when converting to decimal form.

# leading "v" or at least three non-alpha parts.  Alpha part is only
# permitted if there are at least two non-alpha parts. Strangely
