On CPAN, some versions of a particular module can (apparently) be marked as "** developer release **". For example, see:

http://search.cpan.org/~byrne/SOAP-Lite-0.65_6/

"SOAP-Lite-0.65_6" is marked as a developer release, while "SOAP-Lite-0.60a" is still considered the "latest" release.

How do I do this for my own CPAN modules? For instance, I have my File::Format::RIFF module, which I finally released as "1.0.0". I want to start a "1.1.x" branch and have it marked as "developer release", so that people would be more inclined to stick with the "1.0.x" release.
