Well, I'm only testing modules on cygwin with cygwin perl, so why not 
also report it to cygwin folks?

I got also difficulties sometimes there are only five-six entries
though there should be about 150 - 200 now. Sometimes there are some
more, but not all there, sometimes there are no entries.

MySQL ... is not really a database ...

That is the official versioning schema. I think you should ask the 
webmaster/maintainer of this website, the link is always at the footer.

The highest entry is always the newest. And i see no entry for perl-5.7.2,
maybe i should build another bleadperl to do some tests:-)
