I think the CPAN Meta Spec should be explicit on how how release status is determined (e.g. whether "_" in the version number string or parsed off a comment on the "$VERSION =" line) and how it is communicated (e.g. tarball name or field in the Meta file).
Yes. I'd like to see a META line for the release status, and the _ killed off in version numbers (it's one reason why I have *never* released a dev release of a module on CPAN, I hate the _).
Best, David, who has subscribed to cpan-workers…
