| Subject: | 'dzil new DIST' fails out of the box |
With a fresh install of Dist::Zilla (either 2.101040 or installing from a dist built from the
github HEAD), 'dzil new Test' fails with the following error:
$ dzil new Test -v

Things that do not fix this problem:
1) having a '~/.dzil' file with the contents from the Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new
'CONFIGURATION' section
2) having a '~/.dzil/config.ini' file with the contents from the Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new
'CONFIGURATION' section
3) having an empty 'dist.ini' file in the current working directory
Things that sort of work around this problem:
Having a mostly-complete 'dist.ini' file in the current working directory and running 'dzil new
.' *does* regenerate the dist.ini file, using the values from ~/.dzil/config.ini (if that exists)
