Version information detail?

[Robin Ellams]

Would it be helpful to other people to expand the "Version" info to 
include build or change date.  There were multiple updates to version 
2.82 over a long period of time and it was became difficult to know just 
which modified version was being used.  Extending the Version string to 
include the change date (i.e. 2.83 130623) might help. Perhaps it could 
even be incorporated in the change submission mechanism.
At the moment I have modded get_iplayer.cgi along the lines of:
     my $VERSION = 2.83130622;
     my $VERSION_TEXT;
     $VERSION_TEXT = sprintf("v%.8f", $VERSION) unless $VERSION_TEXT;
and similarly get_iplayer.pl
