From the META.yml [1] file on cpan.

Well, perl guys tend to loose the dots so 5.14.1 would be 5.014001. You
can test that using `perl -v` or `perl -e 'print $^V'` and `perl -e
'print $]'`. "$]" and "$^V" contain the perl version you're running in
different formats.
I have no idea why there are two formats though.

Works fine for me.
