Nothing you have here leaps out at me as being wrong.

I had a dig around in some of the source code. Module::Starter::PBP inherits from Module::Starter::Simple. It is Module::Starter::Simple's create_basedir() method that generates the "... already exists.  Use --force if you want to stomp on it." message. As far as I can see, you can't use Module::Starter::PBP to add a module to an existing distribution - I'm happy to be contradicted on that if someone knows a way to do it.

None of the examples in my original reply used Module::Starter::PBP. You may find excluding that plugin fixes the immediate problem but I wouldn't really consider that a particularly good solution. You could subclass Module::Starter::PBP and write your own create_basedir() method - that's just a suggestion, there may be other implications which you should look into first.
