CPAN::DistnameInfo added support for '-TRIAL' in 0.10 back in March of this year and I'm pretty sure that's what Graham is using for search.cpan.org. It's certainly possible that it's leaking through elsewhere. rjbs has been doing -TRIAL releases of Dist::Zilla and may have a better sense of where any remaining issues are. > It also looked like '-TRIAL' was intended to be used as a pre-release > without bumping any version numbers, so you could have -TRIAL1, > -TRIAL2, etc all with the version e.g. 5.6.2.
