quick question, once I installed the module starter, it went ahead and created a Dreamcar.pm under the dir /cygdrive/c/Users/Lucca/Dreamcar/lib/

why are you in cygwin now instead of  C:\Users\Lucca\Documents\NetBeans...?

Do I delete that replace it with my own pm module? not sure if the file it automatically created has some format in it that is required

Um,

 perldoc module-starter
NAME
    module-starter - creates a skeleton module distribution
...
[download]

This means it does a copy/paste of an example module .... you then edit/delete/cut/paste/copy/.... whatever you want or need, its regular perl modules
