But in this case I have to use dzil, so I'd like to get some answers to specific questions en route to formulating what (for me, at least) will be best practices for maintaining this distribution going forward.
1. How do I add a Travis-CI configuration to a distribution maintained with Dist::Zilla?
The IPC-System-Simple repository did not have a .travis.yml configuration file when I cloned the repo, so I added one (attached) copied from one of my other CPAN distros where it DWIMs. I made no changes in dist.ini. The only other change I made was to modify a test to deal with the github issue that led me to request comaintenance on this distro in the first place. I activated the configuration under my Travis account and pushed to github. However, the Travis build failed, here:

aborting; duplicate files would be produced at /home/travis/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.30.0/lib/site_perl/5.30.0/Dist/Zilla/App/Command/build.pm line 97.
The command "build-dist" failed and exited with 255 during . #####So, what do I need to do to get Dist::Zilla and Travis to play nice with each other? (Attached: the Travis config I wrote and the existing dist.ini file.)
2. For testing on Windows, how do I add an Appveyor configuration to a distribution maintained with Dist::Zilla?
I haven't tried an Appveyor configuration/run yet, but since I had problems with Travis, I assume I'll also encounter problems with Appveyor.
3. Assume that I am the co-maintainer of the distribution but have rights to push to the original author's repository, which will remain the canonical repository. How do I then get the CPAN release to show up under my CPAN ID (JKEENAN)?
Bottom-post or inline comments preferred. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
