Hi guys,

I created an app called jsonexplorer.pl
(http://search.cpan.org/~alfie/jsonexplorer.pl-1.0.0/bin/jsonexplorer.pl),
but the cpan tool doesn't like it:

	# cpan install jsonexplorer.pl
	Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
		Database was generated on Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:41:03 GMT
	Warning: Cannot install jsonexplorer.pl, don't know what it is.
	Try the command

			i /jsonexplorer.pl/

	to find objects with matching identifiers.

My guess is that the .pl extension in the module name is what's doing it. I'm
quiet fond of .pl as opposed to the App:: convention so I hope I don't have to
rename my module.

Would anyone know how I could get cpan to install it without renaming the
module? I tried cpanm, but that failed too.

Alfie
