Subject: Invariant version + Unusual/Inconvenient names for distributions
It seems you now have made 6 releases of ETL::Pequel and all of them contained version 2.4. Only the filename of the distribution changed. This is very inconvenient in tracking older test results and reporting bugs. It makes the package unusable from the programming level because code cannot simply verify to have the right version installed. Please change version numbers between releases and let the distribution names be computed by MakeMaker or whatever packager you use as they are doing normally. Your users will thank you the convenience they get from that. Thanks,
