+Ends up with:
+Use of uninitialized value $mod:: in string at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/PPM/Make/Search.pm line 187, <STDIN> line 24.
+Not all query terms returned a result at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/PPM/Make/Search.pm line 568, <STDIN> line 24.

+* Some other clues:
+  The LaTeXML.ppm includes mention of OS and ARCHITECTURE
+  Linux, of course, but I want windows.... or none, since this is pure perl?
+
+  Maybe the command line options 
+     --os='' --arch=''
+  would make it more portable?
+
+Hmm... it isn't clear that it actually failed, in spite of the warnings.
