Then run these commands

md tmp
cd tmp
patch -p1 < ../msSmart.patch.txt
tree -f .
perl mss.pl
tree -f .

And you'll see

$ md tmp

$ cd tmp

Whoops, that didn't work. It appears you probably did nothing wrong

In short, Module::Starter::Simple doesn't work, not surprising, since it never tests its own functionality

You can accomplish what it was supposed to accomplish by judicious use of cp command, say

module-starter --distro=Globbo ...
cp -R lib Globbo
cp -R t Globbo
cd Globbo

# perl Makefile.PL
# make manifest

perl Build.PL
build manifest
