Well, sure enough: it does not go in the index.  The search.cpan.org 
code doesn't show the "alpha version" bit though.  Apparently 
kobesearch is a bit slow on the mirroring, so not sure what happens 
there yet.

  curl -s http://cpan.org/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | \
   gunzip -c | grep Date-Piece

Issues of control, repair, improvement, cost, or just plain
understandability all come down strongly in favor of open source
solutions to complex problems of any sort.
