The dev target is not available

The README mentions the dev target, but it results in an error on Travis:

$ perlbrew use dev

ERROR: The installation "dev" is unknown.

Looks like blead isn't working either (cf.):

$ perlbrew use blead

ERROR: The installation "blead" is unknown.

Due to how the helpers work, that error is unavoidable. If you look further in the log output, you will see the dev release being built and used properly. This should definitely be mentioned somewhere in the docs though.

blead is currently not working, but that is #44.

I'm getting a similar error... My .travis.yml uses dev but when I try and run it I notice it points at a URL on Amazonws that's a 404 error.

Ultimately the testing continues, but it uses the default 5.14 instead of 5.27.x

@scottchiefbaker the linked build job ran under 5.27.7

I tried this last night, and at first, it seemed to use 5.14, but then it did download the most recent 5.27. And then, I finally RTFMed, and found it described in the README notes. :-)

I'd certainly welcome improvements to the docs if you see a way to make this more obvious.
