the 0.09 Windows PPM package available from ActiveState contains a README.html conflicting with another README.html. As far as I can see, the README.pod is converted to README.html during the PPM generation process and placed in the Mojolicious main plugins directory, conflicting with other files there.
Mojolicious::Plugin::ParamExpand had the same issue, leading to a conflict when RenderFile is already installed. The issue has been fixed there (see: https://github.com/sshaw/Mojolicious-Plugin-ParamExpand/issues/3) but it should be done here as well as it may also happen with other plugins.
I guess all plugins should avoid writing to a file with a non-unique name in the plugins directory.
Below is a copy of the error within the ActiveState Perl Package Manager when installing ParamExpand while RenderFile is already installed.
