Public bug reported:

karjala@modules-vm:~/test/geosWay$ ls
XML-MyXML-0.0993  XML-MyXML-0.0993.tar.gz

fatal: pathspec 'XML-MyXML-0.0993' did not match any files
add XML-MyXML-0.0993: command returned error: 128

The above failed because I did not give dh-make-perl the FULL path of
the directory of my module. This is the first bug I want to report.

The second bug is that EVEN IF I give it the full path, it still fails:

karjala@modules-vm:~/test/geosWay$ rm -rf XML-MyXML-0.0993
karjala@modules-vm:~/test/geosWay$ tar xvfz XML-MyXML-0.0993.tar.gz 
karjala@modules-vm:~/test/geosWay$ dh-make-perl /home/karjala/test/geosWay/XML-MyXML-0.0993

karjala@modules-vm:~/test/geosWay$ ls
XML-MyXML-0.0993  XML-MyXML-0.0993.tar.gz

As you can see there were a lot of errors, and in the final ls I didn't
get the libxml-myxml-perl.tar.gz file that I needed. This is the second
bug that I wish to report.

If instead of a directory I had given it the --cpan option, then I would
get the correct results without errors.
