Hum, currently there are 2 version numbers :

    our $VERSION = '1.10';
    our $GDAL_VERSION = '1.10.0';

Do you mean only to change the $VERSION one ? I see that for GDAL 1.9.2, it 
was our $VERSION = '1.92'; so if VERSION must be greater, perhaps this :

    our $VERSION = '1.991100';
    our $GDAL_VERSION = '1.10.0';

I'm not sure of the implication of this comment indeed, so I'd be more 
confortable if you could experiment and commit the right fix (and remove/ammend 
the comment if it doesn't apply)

Hopefully, the next major version will be 2.0
