I think I'd prefer "modules" over "dists" over "distributions".

Rationale: "distribution" is a very generic term, which may be applied 
to Debian, Ubuntu, Perl (the interpreter) or SONY. It is like 
"packages" - means everything and nothing.

We have "packages" on alioth, but the separation there is different 
— scripts, website, packages. That is, "scripts" and "website" are 
clearly not packages.

I like "modules" because the separation now is "Perl-the interpreter" 
and "extensions to the interpreter, modules".

I hope this convinces you (plural). If not, perhaps we should vote, 
decide and finally move on :)
