All I got out of that was that you run perl Build again.

john@makemake:~/dev/HTML-EntityReference$ perl Build
Building HTML-EntityReference
john@makemake:~/dev/HTML-EntityReference$ ./Build

john@makemake:~/dev/HTML-EntityReference$ ./Build test

I can delete blib, and running perl Build will make it reappear. It contains the main .pm file, but not the other files I have in the original lib directory, even though the one I'm interested in is named in the Manifest.

Maybe it only copies files with a .pm extension? Your example added another module to the tree, not an internal file that would be "required".
