Currently, if I look up a core module or a dual-lived module on search.cpan, it returns a reference to 5.6.2 :
It will not shortly.

The Right Thing should be to return a reference to the latest stable, 5.8.2.
Yes.
What could be the cause of this ?
5.6.2 doesn't include any META.yml -- this should doesn't matter from the point of view of PAUSE, since I was told PAUSE ignore distributions with more than one META.yml (such as 5.8.2). However I don't know how this interacts with search.
PAUSE and search are separate systems.
search assumes that any upload of a dist should be considered latest. This is correct 99.999% of the time. The perl dist is an exception to this rule. I need to add some code to trap it, but have not done so yet.
I have manually started a re-index to fix it this time, but will get some code in place to prevent the need for manual intervention next time.
