I am playing with Zydeco and have a lot of questions those days.

Not related to Zydeco, but this is a question that came because of the tests I did with it. This is more about the usual authoring and module building tools. I usually use Minilla because it is high level and it made my life super simple for something like 3 years, but I just encountered an issue. I then read the documentation of at least:

...but didn't find an answer. I guess it would be easier to ask some fellow monks.

So there is a very abnormal situation: I have .pl files in lib/. I know this is weird and not recommended, but I am using a third party tool from a rather experienced CPAN author, so I guess this is on my side that there is a problem. My files and directory tree looks like the following: 

  $ tree ./lib/
  ./lib/
    Art
      Abstractions.pl
      Wildlife/
        Buyer.pl
        Collector.pl
      Wildlife.pm
      World.pm
    Art.pm

The reason that there are some .pl files in this area is something imposed by Zydeco (as far as I can understand) when you want to include some classes or roles. I don't want to open a debate on this, this is how things are. My tests are passing fine when I do something like prove -l t/.

The issue starts to happen when I enter some traditional building and authoring. I first used Minilla, and then Module::Build::Tiny. Here is the output: 

  $ mbtiny test
  Creating new 'Build' script for 'Art-World' version '0.06'
  cp lib/Art.pm blib/lib/Art.pm
  cp script/art.pl blib/script/art.pl
  cp lib/Art/World.pm blib/lib/Art/World.pm
  cp lib/Art/Wildlife.pm blib/lib/Art/Wildlife.pm
  t/01-basic.t .......... ok

All the different modules building and authoring tools gave me the same result: .pl files in lib/ are not copied to the build area and cannot be found. I dunno what to do with this situation and despite of searching in various configuration parameters, I didn't find promising paths. I guess I am missing something, but dunno what?
