I have a module that I'm tentatively calling Lib::Simple, and I'm trying to package it for distribution. I used ExtUtils::ModuleMaker to create the stubs, and everything seems to be working well, except for the make install. Here is what happens when I try to install the module:

[root@h24-69-83-179 Lib-Simple-0.0.1]# perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Lib::Simple [root@h24-69-83-179 Lib-Simple-0.0.1]# make Makefile:457: warning: overriding commands for target `Lib-Simple-VERS +ION_SYM' Makefile:449: warning: ignoring old commands for target `Lib-Simple-VE +RSION_SYM' Makefile:457: warning: overriding commands for target `=' Makefile:449: warning: ignoring old commands for target `=' cp lib/Lib/Simple.pm blib/lib/Lib/Simple.pm Manifying blib/man3/Lib::Simple.3 [root@h24-69-83-179 Lib-Simple-0.0.1]# make test Makefile:457: warning: overriding commands for target `Lib-Simple-VERS +ION_SYM' Makefile:449: warning: ignoring old commands for target `Lib-Simple-VE +RSION_SYM' Makefile:457: warning: overriding commands for target `=' Makefile:449: warning: ignoring old commands for target `=' PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" " +test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', '')" t/*.t t/test....ok + All tests successful.

I'm completely lost on the errors I'm getting here. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what other information I should post here?
