+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.
