when you use h2xs -A -X -n Simple::Class, h2xs creates the directory Simple/Class and puts the file Class.pm in Simple/Class instead of Simple, but as the transcript below shows, I can't do a perl -I. from the same directory I created the class and have a simple use Simple::Class work... does anyone know why this is? 
[localhost:Seamstress/Seamstress/t] metaperl% head -4 ./Simple/Class/C
+lass.pm
package Simple::Class;

1;
[localhost:Seamstress/Seamstress/t] metaperl% perl -I. -MSimple::Class
