Use this:

our $VERSION = do { my @r = (q$Revision: 1.2 $ =~ /\d+/g); sprintf "%d." . "%02d" x $#r, @r };

This would expand out the version number to 1.02 and it will be updated by CVS commits. If you think you may have more than one hundred revisions (the revision number could get up to 1.100, then change the "%02d" to "%03d".
