Thanks for the pointer. I thought I'd read the install file, but I guess I just read the pod on cpan. It's frustrating, though, that a module published to cpan would include installation steps that specifically prevent its being installed via cpan, and that the author would create a custom data set, but leave the link to the census data in at leasty two places in the docs.
