VERSION_FROM needs to point to a full path.  I often will put Automation.pm
in the root directory, not under blib/.  I only use blib/ for shared
libraries, usually, put the main module in root, and put any supporting
module files under lib.  They all get moved properly to blib/ before
installation anyway.  I only put the shared libs in blib/ to begin with
because they usually DON'T get moved for me.

So, what is this module for?  :)
