Well, a module is uploaded into CPAN as one file.  Andreas' software then
unpacks it, extracts the README file and renames it to match the the
archive, and then goes through the module itself to find out what to do
with it.  If it can't do this, then the module will only stay in the
author's directory and not get placed into the module directories.

At least, that is hw I understand it ...
