Checker.pm line 319 Error

Argument "5.9.0" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at /var/www/html/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Configure/Checker.pm line 319.

Is the exact error im getting. I had to fix several .pm file errors but this one im at a loss. I used to program VB and yes it looks like below that they are trying to take a string and treat it like a number and that is where the error is at.  319 is the first line. 


if ( $version =~ /^\d/ && $version < $rcsverRequired ) {

           # RCS too old
           $err .=
               $prog
             . ' is too old, upgrade to version '
             . $rcsverRequired
             . ' or higher.';
       }
   }
   if ($err) {
       $mess .= $this->ERROR(
           $err . <<HERE

Your system must have a recently updated RCS. RCS changed from a simple decimal version to a major.minor.patch style version, so when we extract the version, it's no longer a number. You can just comment out that whole block of code. This is fixed in the new Foswiki 2.0
