Undef? That's what I expected. On my system (5.26.2 on osx) the case-typo unexpectedly triggers the proper search but then unexpectedly propagates the wrong case to the filename and module values: 

> perl -MModule::Metadata -MData::Dumper -le "print(Dumper(Module::Met
+adata->new_from_module('Data::DUMPer')))"
$VAR1 = bless( {
