As mentioned in my previous email the '_' char in the version number makes
the release special and sort of hidden. (that's why it's not in
modules/by-module/Apache as well). You can still find the module thru
search.cpan.org and in the author's directory. (and on perl.apache.org)
Now why it was called is way, I don't know.
