 =head2 Version tuples
 
-A version number of the form C<v1.2.3.4> is parsed as a dual-valued literal.
-It has the string value of C<"\x{1}\x{2}\x{3}\x{4}"> (i.e., a utf8 string)
-and a numeric value of C<1 + 2/1000 + 3/1000000 + 4/1000000000>.  This is
-useful for representing and comparing version numbers.
-
-Version tuples are accepted by both C<require> and C<use>.  The C<$^V> variable
-contains the running Perl interpreter's version in this format.
-See L<perlvar/$^V>.
+A literal of the form C<v1.20.300.4000> is parsed as a dual-valued quantity.
+It has the string value of C<"\x{1}\x{14}\x{12c}\x{fa0}"> (i.e., a UTF-8
+string) and a numeric value of C<1 + 20/1000 + 300/1000000 + 4000/1000000000>.
+This is useful for representing Unicode strings, and for comparing version
+numbers using the string comparison operators, C<cmp>, C<gt>, C<lt> etc.
+
+Such "version tuples" or "vectors" are accepted by both C<require> and
+C<use>.  The C<$^V> variable contains the running Perl interpreter's
+version in this format.  See L<perlvar/$^V>.
