Subject: DISTVNAME parameter not recognized as valid
Including the DISTVNAME parameter in a call to WriteMakefile() produces the following warnings: % perl Makefile.PL WARNING: DISTVNAME is not a known parameter. 'DISTVNAME' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. ... According to the documentation, this is a valid parameter, and it appears to work as advertised, so it seems the warnings are incorrect.

Or the documentation is wrong. Those docs were written by me long after the code was written. I guess there's no harm in exposing it, if you really want to override that logic. Done.
