[Pdx-pm] Help with Dashrep module

[Joshua Keroes]

h2xs is kind of long in the tooth. Personally, I use the module-starter
program (installed with Module::Starter) which will get everything framed
out nicely for you. I'm sure there are other options on CPAN too.

Anyhoo, this particular error is caused by not having all of the POD in
place. Make sure you have a NAME section in there.

Cheers,
Joshua
