Please see the run-down of usage, and link to sample distribution:

Please see the -M switch and some code like:

  unshift(@INC, \&fix_the_problem);

The fact that latest.pm is very small makes it rather unlikely to be 
needed and potentially an easy fix if it is needed.  One could probably 
apply that argument to Module::Install too, except for the small bit.
