Subject: Terminology: "distributions" are really "releases"
What Parse::BACKPAN::Packages calls a distribution is actually a "release". distributions() returns all the *releases* of a distribution. Says so right in the docs. distributions The distributions method returns a list of objects representing all the different versions of a distribution distributions() would better be called releases(). Parse::BACKPAN::Packages::Distribution should be Parse::BACKPAN::Packages::Release. distributions() can then be used to list all distributions and Parse::BACKPAN::Packages::Distribution can be used to represent a distribution and contain all its Releases. An alternative to "releases" is "versions". Let me know and I'll work up a patch.
"distributions" are now "releases"
