+perl-Sort-Versions (sorting of revision-like numbers)
+
+Sort::Versions allows easy sorting of mixed non-numeric and numeric
+strings, like the 'version numbers' that many shared library systems
+and revision control packages use. This is quite useful if you are
+trying to deal with shared libraries. It can also be applied to
+applications that intersperse variable-width numeric fields within
+text. Other applications can undoubtedly be found.
