The documentation doesn't suggest this, but I'll give it a swing. :-)

This did appear to fix the problem. What's the best way to suggest that the documentation get fixed?

--edit1 So I've only half-fixed it: It's attempting to index my stuff, but it appears to fail:

It says it's inspecting, but gives no indication that there's a problem until it says "Produced list of 0 packages full". I'm unclear as to what I need to do from here. I've been using ExtUtils::ModuleMaker to build out the basic framework of the module I'm packaging, and I do have a version number baked in.

I'm a moron: was was archiving the wrong folder. Works great now.
