So it is!  Thanks!

[pdurbin@macbook examples]$ timeline.pl -r "Lucia Elisabeth  
Munchhusen" -i
[pdurbin@macbook examples]$ grep "Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach"  
timeline.xml
   <event title="Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach" start="1732"  
end="1795"></event>
[pdurbin@macbook examples]$

I added the script_files line to Build.PL. . .

macbook:HTML-Timeline-1.03 root# diff Build.PL.orig Build.PL
23a24
 >  script_files    => ['bin/timeline.pl'],
macbook:HTML-Timeline-1.03 root#

. . . and timeline.pl was installed!

So yes, I guess it would be good to add it.

I will note that it was installed to /usr/local/bin/timeline.pl (the  
only file in that directory) on my Mac, while on Linux and Windows  
(Cygwin) it was installed to /usr/bin/timeline.pl.

[pdurbin@macbook ~]$ perl -MModule::Build -e 'print  
"$Module::Build::VERSION\n";'
0.2806
[pdurbin@macbook ~]$ perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print  
"$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n";'
6.30

Yep.  Good job.

~/.timelinerc is great!  Thanks.  Now I can set defaults for  
gedcom_file, root_person, include_spouses, etc.
