That's absolutely right.  Under your modules, it's looking in the 
distribution called "Finance-InteractiveBrokers-TWS-v0.0.1" for the
module "Finance::InteractiveBrokers::TWS".  This is expected, since
a distribution can have more than one module, and a module can be included 
in more than one distribution.

Look at any other module on search.cpan and note that it does the exact 
same thing.  This is not a bug.

}Should I have removed the v0.0.1 from the file name created by "make dist"?

The "v" is a bit superfluous; the tar file is generall of the form 
DIST-VER.tgz, which, for Algorithm::SixDegrees, looks like 
Algorithm-SixDegrees-0.03.tgz.

So, to answer your question, no.
