It's always been that way. CGI.pm is not uploaded as CGI-3.29, it's uploaded as CGI.pm-3.29. This gets mentioned every now and again, but no-one seems moved enough to ask Lincoln to change it. It causes the most confusion for cpan-testers, as you can't get directly to it from the search.cpan.org page, and there are several different pages relating to CGI.pm due to the .pm confusing the version number parsing.
