No, it has the same timestamp as the source distribution:
http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/F/FU/FUSINV:

The problems comes from the fact all the system-specific modules 
dependencies are defined conditionally in Makefile.PL:
if ($OSNAME ne 'MSWin32') {
     recommends 'Proc::Daemon'     => undef;
     recommends 'Proc::PID::File'  => undef;
} else {
     requires 'Win32::OLE' => undef;
     requires 'Win32::TieRegistry' => undef;
     requires 'Win32::Job' => undef;
     recommends 'Win32::Daemon'    => undef;
}

So, depending of the platform where the distribution has been generated, 
the resulting meta files will be different. Given than either Goneri or 
myself are linux users, the source distribution metadata will always be 
primarily linux-oriented.

BTW, both task-netdiscovery and task-netinventory are deprecated in 
favor of task-network, officially release yesterday (general annoucement 
pending CPAN availability).
