The decompress and build and install all worked lots better this time.

Now to try building my GFfP module...

Yes, that seems to work too.  Hurray!

As expected, though, the paths are not visible.


Now what about the organization of my module?

I misspoke when I mentioned needing to put my .pm file in blib manually, 
it is required to be in lib, which is much less likely to get deleted.

But why do I get errors during "perl build.pl" telling me that the files 
built by the build step are not present at the "perl build.pl" step?  As 
far as I can determine, they shouldn't be.  A similar warning for 
META.yml and README showed up when I did "perl build.pl" for the 
Module-Build.zip above.  Such warnings do not engender confidence in the 
module, or in the M::B process.

But at least it works now, it is much more fun to talk about the 
"little" problems when the basic functionality works!

I'm assuming that for distribution for PPM users, that I will never need 
to use  "perl build dist"... so the "differing content" in the .tar.gz 
file build by "dist" vs "ppm_dist" won't annoy me... but will it annoy 
others, that want to do both types of distributions?
