System: WinXPsp2, ActiveState perl 817, PPM::Make 0.79, Module::Build 0.2805

I've got my PPM's creating right, except for one thing: The HTML documentation is "a little screwy".

Specifically, instead of nice names like DBI - Database independent interface for Perl at the top, I get stuff like

C:\DOCUME~1\Curtis\LOCALS~1\Temp\Perl-Critic-3908-1156377001\blib/lib/ +Perl/Critic/Policy/BuiltinFunctions/ProhibitLvalueSubstr.pm"
at the top (withour quotes) when I generate a PPM.

ppm_install/make_ppm from PPM::Make and the "Build ppm" part of Module::Build both do this.

I can't find Pod::Master, (finding that would be useful, too, if only to update it - it looks nice, and I'd like a way to refresh my HTML documentation, as trying the crossed-out code does NOT do it - I had to reinstall ActiveState after I tried that!), I've read HowTo build and distribute a PPMed module for Win32. What options/scripts do I need to set/fix to fix this?

(OK, I checked. It's only when the module author doesn't put both a name and an abstract on the same line in the NAME section, or has no NAME section at all. Perl::Critic and Net::OpenID::JanRain::Consumer are bad at that - talk to the maintainers?)
