PL_FILES is normally run after pm_to_blib which is when stuff gets
copied from lib to blib, so MakeMaker doesn't see the new file in lib.
There's some attempted DWIMery, but it requires you to tell MakeMaker
about the generated file via PM.
The sucky thing is you can't easily add to PM. Either MakeMaker
generates it or you do.
I tried fiddling with PL_FILES in the past to fix this, but it has to
work this way for backwards compatibility reasons. See
26dc65fa6ddb938365990a1aaea2de8c77a3834c and
371dc5b91bb6d61355cb8d6afaa294e473b484cf in the git history if you're
curious.
A work around is to put the new file into blib/lib instead of lib.
Sorry, that's the best I can offer.
