Memory says the "correct" thing to do is

$VERSION = "1.06_01";
eval $VERSION;

Module::Build::ModuleInfo is severely cracked out though, so it might still
get confused. However I don't believe there's any problem requiring 1.06
in that case.

For DBIx::Class et. al. we usually do something like 1.0699_01 for dev and
1.0700 for the final release - that way people can depend on 0699 before
the release but we don't run into the problem where dev releases don't
upgrade to production because 1.07_01 and 1.07 are both 1.07
