Unusual Acme module

Running through the results of cpanstats for last month, a number of
reports got dropped for a module upload. On first glance I thought there
was a universal fault of the testing procedure, particularly for
CPAN::Reporter, as none of the YACsmoke testers had the same problem.

However, it appear Jonathan Rockway has uploaded a rather unusually
named distribution [1], which fails the name parsing criteria of
cpanstats and YACSmoke.

[1] http://search.cpan.org/~jrockway/__-0.01/lib/__.pm

Now this comes back to what we should accept as the standard format for
distributions. As CPAN::Reporter seemed to accept this, then maybe
obscurely name distributions should be accepted, but I rather discourage
them personally. It's hard enough trying to find the right distribution
anyway!

Should the name parsing be relaxed in YACSmoke?

Thought appreciated. Thanks.

Cheers,
Barbie.
