afaik CPAN mixes development packages and distribution packages

It may be unfortunate consequence of Perl interpreted nature

Unless we're talking about different things, that's denoted in
the META.json (I don't recall if the distinction existed in the
META.yaml era) with e.g.
"release_status" : "stable",
or
"release_status" : "testing",
A proper tool can (and will) filter for this by default.
And to be explicitly clear, I'm not saying it's perfect for us
as-is (or even perfect in general). They're just the model
citizen to take after.
