Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file
Crypt::RSA::ES::PKCS1v15 1.10 1.9 V/VI/VIPUL/Crypt-RSA-1.46.tar.gz
Crypt::RSA::Key 1.13 1.8 V/VI/VIPUL/Crypt-RSA-1.37.tar.gz
111 installed modules have no parseable version number
So which version do I actually want installed? :)
Schoolboy mistake

I did this with Win32::ASP, one of my first modules. I got a nice letter from Andreas correcting my usage of version numbers. I suspect he doesn't have time to mail everyone though.
Basically, perl (or rather CPAN.pm) treats them as real numbers, not "minor.major", as I was used to. So you probably want x.10, even though CPAN thinks x.9 is newer.
Also...

It's nice to email the author about this, as merlyn has done -- a couple times! -- for me. Point them
here if they need to use better methods for creating versions from CVS revision tags.
