[Catalyst-dev] PPM Catalyst/Manual.html clash.

There is an odd file clash with PPM (the ActivePerl module installer).
The fact: Catalyst::Runtime provides the file Catalyst/Manual.pod and
Catalyst::Manual provides the file Catalyst/Manual.pm, each of which
causes PPM to create a Catalyst/Manual.html file under the html docs
tree it generates.
This may seem a trivial problem, but it unfortunately causes PPM to
fail miserably when installing Task::Catalyst (or Catalyst::Runtime and
Catalyst::Manual anyway).
This is a real shame, since it prevents the casual Windows Perl user
from trying Catalyst, whereas installing Catalyst on Windows could be
nowadays as smooth as a couple of clicks (as required by PPM4 to install
Task::Catalyst).
(PPM aside, the Catalyst/Manual.(pm|pod) duplication should probably be
avoided anyway).
Could you please remove (or rename) Manual.pod from Catalyst::Runtime or
adopt any other solution you see fit?
Many thanks,
Emanuele.
