You literally have to know where to look to find it. ie: In the case of Moose::Exception, you must first find the Moose dist, then switch to a development release, and then find the exception module in it.

This of course means that any interdocument links in -dev releases referring to new modules are completely broken, because all the hyperlinks point to "the latest version of X", which using the above logic, resolves to nowhere.
In the case of twigils, you can't actually find that without serious external help , I only know it is on CPAN because I saw it on the "recent releases" feed, and that led me to its existence.
It was a nightmare trying to re-find that to share with other people.
