Subject: Module root directory is not detected properly
Modules like Test-CheckManifest does not install because the first file in the tarball is under a subdirectory, making cpanminus to enter to that directory instead of the root directory. All the best, Alberto

Confirmed. The tar command and output is: # tar tfz Test-CheckManifest-1.22.tar.gz Test-CheckManifest-1.22/data/Test2.dat Test-CheckManifest-1.22/lib/Test/CheckManifest.pm ...etc. The first line causes cpanm to think the root directory is the data directory. Perhaps cpanm descend into whatever path the first line contains and stop when it finds a Makefile.PL or Build.PL file. Or maybe simpler would be to sort the tar output by length and then take the first line as the root.
