Perl 5.6.1 showing as 5.006_01 on testers.cpan.org (was: How can Icopy and paste into Cygwin console windows?)

My apologies for starting this thread off-list. This question was only
incidental to a message about non-Cygwin stuff. Actually, this seems
to not be really Cygwin-related either, so I'll redirect to
cpan-testers@perl.org.

I have found this before. But using the URL for macid 131 I get:

"Sorry - no results for all_distributions matched."

When looking for cygwin in the by-config page all I could find is tests
for perl 5.006_01 (macid=130). I now realize that this is a
consequence of the version numbering system change in 5.005 to 5.6.0.

Would it be possible to at least put a note of this on the CPAN
testers web page? It seems non-obvious to me to use 5.006_01 when I
want 5.6.1.
