Thanks, Mark. So each time I make a change to a source file, I re-do the 
entire build process? That's what I had decided needed to happen, as 
illogical as it sounds to me, since the usual "make" wasn't working properly.

Why do we have the duality between MOBY and lib/MOBY? (There's also the 
version in blib/lib/MOBY, but we know that's created by Perl automatically, 
so let's not even go there.) Wouldn't it be easier to have a single copy? 
Is there a good reason to have two copies (I alluded to some in my previous 
emails).
