My goal is to get a list of files that are part of that module.

Here's an example of how weird the situation is:

    use Data::Dumper;
    require CPAN;
    require ExtUtils::Installed;
    $module = "Acme::please";
    require CPAN;
    print Dumper($CPAN::META->has_inst($module));
    $packlists = ExtUtils::Installed->new;
    print Dumper($packlists->files($module));

The `$CPAN::META->has_inst` tells me that the package is installed. The
`$packlists->files` tells me it's not. :/
