Subject: Dev releases with $VERSION reflecting version in tarball possible?
I just discovered that the recent dev releases all contained the same version number inside DBI.pm: https://metacpan.org/source/TIMB/DBI-1.628_50/DBI.pm => 1.629 https://metacpan.org/source/TIMB/DBI-1.628_51/DBI.pm => 1.629 https://metacpan.org/source/TIMB/DBI-1.628_52/DBI.pm => 1.629 Could this be changed in the future so that $VERSION at least hints at the version number of the release? The reason I ask is that in reports stored by cpantesters there is no trace of the name of the tarball that was installed during a test, just the $VERSION of all dependent modules. So if $VERSION between different dev releases is conflated, information is lost. Thanks,

For example, look at http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/88fcae94-3289-11e3-9c1f-b7f6f24aa4a3 When I tried to reproduce the report, I had to guess which dev-release of DBI was involved.
