I am wholly unable to get CPAN or CPANPLUS to install any local bundles at all. As an example...
I create a bundle TestBundle.pm 
   package TestBundle
   $VERSION='0.01';
   1;

   __END__

   =head1 NAME

   TestBundle - Test Bundle

   =head1 CONTENTS

   BSD::Resource

[download]

I then move to that directory, and cannot, for the life of me, get that module to load. I really want to load use it with CPANPLUS::Backend, but I can't even get it to work with the suggested command line.
e.g.
perl -I`pwd` -MCPANPLUS -e 'install "TestBundle"' results in [ERROR] No such module 'TestBundle'. Likewise perl -I`pwd` -MCPANPLUS -e 'install "TestBundle"' fails with the equivalent CPAN error.

Since I can't even do this, I certainly can't use CPANPLUS::Backend to get the list of modules in the Bundle to test for pre-requisites, which is my primary goal.

What am I doing wrong? I know I'm missing something pretty obvious, since there aren't any other complaints I can find about this, either on Usenet or on the web.
