Awesome, thanks for testing and for the PPM.  I'm quite interested in 
supporting a 'ppd' action (both for M::B itself and for other modules 
built using M::B), so at some point I'll want to figure out how to do 
this properly.  How did you create this one?

Where's the best place for me to put the PPM tarball?  I can certainly 
upload it to my CPAN directory, should I also see about getting it in 
the ActiveState repository or something?
