Here the part of META.yml file https://metacpan.org/source/RIBASUSHI/DBIx-Class-0.08250/META.yml : 
name: DBIx-Class
requires:
  Class::Accessor::Grouped: 0.10010
  Class::C3::Componentised: 1.0009
  Class::Inspector: 1.24

I wonder why there is 2 variants of writing the release name, the one with "-" and the one with "::". From my point of view this variant would be more robust: 
name: DBIx-Class
requires:
  Class-Accessor-Grouped: 0.10010
  Class-C3-Componentised: 1.0009
  Class-Inspector: 1.24

How `cpan`, `cpanm` and other programms that work with deps convert "::" verion to the "-" version? For example I don't get it how to convert: 
requires:
  LWP: 0

to the real release name witch is `libwww-perl`

In reply to META.yml the difference between `name` and `requires` by bessarabov
