I used module-starter to create the structure. My initial code is working.

But I added another file in the same directory as the .pm file, that is "required" by the code at run time. The code is located along the lines of in MyProject/lib/Path/Name.pm.

The error is that the file is not found, and it's looking in MyProject/blib/lib.

I added the file to the MANIFEST. The basic instructions from the doc page is: 

  perl Build.PL
  ./Build
  ./Build test
  ./Build install

So I tried running Build (without any argument) again, and it didn't do anything. Now ./Build test has been enough to re-run as I make changes to my .pm file, so it knows to copy that normally.

Can someone fill me in on what's (not) going on?
