Currently, if I look up a core module or a dual-lived module on search.cpan, it returns a reference to 5.6.2 :
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=strict&mode=module The Right Thing should be to return a reference to the latest stable, 5.8.2. 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.
