I am trying to work through the examples in the section "Adding Additional Modules" in the chapter "Creating Your Own Perl Distribution" in the book "Intermediate Perl". It is not clear from the text whether or not the utility module-starter should start a normal module if the plugin "Module::Starter::AddModule" is specified in the config file. The command module-starter --module=Animal,cow,Horse,Mouse failed with the plugin specified. I deleted the entire distribution and and successfully reran the command without the plugin. I then attempted to add a module by restoring the plugin to my config file and running module-starter --module=Sheep --dist=Animal. Here is the session. The error message appears to be from windows. I have no idea what to do about it.

Found Animal.  Use --force if you want to stomp on it.
