Oh, I see - I didn't understand the issue when I sent the last message. 
  The problem is that Module-Name-0.01.tar.gz could alternately be a 
CPAN source distribution or a PPM distribution?  Then yeah, that is 
confusing.

How about something even more informative for the PPD, like

  PPM-Module-Name.tar.gz

or

  PPM-Module-Name.zip

or something?
