I'm working on a PKGBUILD for perl 5.12 and I notice that it's providing 20 some odd prerelease modules. I'm annoyed but I can't do anything about it.

The general PKGBUILD guidelines say use the same as upstream unless there is a hyphen. so for a perl prerelease of 0.90_1 that guideline follows to release it as exactly the same. However 0.90_1 is == 0.90.1 and greater than 0.90 which it is a prerelease for on cpan.

I'd like to suggest that for perl the official guideline be to make the version 0.90_pre1

Why? 0.90_pre1 is also greater than 0.90.1... do you want to try that again?
