This isn't limited to modules, however. Many an OS X user here probably remembers their first install of LWP. LWP creates a script named HEAD which simply does an HTTP HEAD request. Unfortunately, since Mac OS X has a case insensative file system, HEAD would overwrite head in /usr/bin. I know it took me a while to realize what was going on.
