Even after reading the thread you cite, i still think the statement "it makes broken file layouts" is missleading.

It doesn't make the exact directory structure that you will ultimately have once the module is installed, it makes *a* directory structure designed to let you easily group all files related to the distribution "Foo::Bar" in one directory in your "development" directory, and files related to "Foo" in a seperate directory under your development directory -- so they don't get bundled together by mistake.

The generated Makefile.pl should "Do the Right Thing" and find your module when it comes time to install it.

You can allways install it into "./test_lib" to confirm that the installed directory structure is correct, and that the module works.
