That's quite reasonable -- submit to CPAN Testers to help p5p check
bleadperl against CPAN but don't annoy authors if it fails. What's
the best way to detect a development perl reliably? I don't think
it's just odd major numbers, as 5.9.5 switched to 5.10.0 well before
the actual release candidates were out. Maybe
$Config{perl_patchlevel}? That seems to have vanished from the final
release.
