I've created a repository there, but so far git (or ssh) won't let me
upload to it.

I'm waiting to hear from their support.

Fixed in V 1.03, which has been uploaded to CPAN.

Hmmm. I notice that Build.PL for Perl::Critic contains:

    script_files    => ['bin/perlcritic'],

but I've never needed it.

Can you download HTML::Timeline's distro and add that? If that works for
you I guess I have to add it...

Check Makefile.PL for this version:

    EXE_FILES      => ['bin/perlcritic'],

What version of Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker are you using?

Yep. Fixed.

Implemented. See the docs.
