The 16 blocks refers to the parent directory (..).

Many versions of ls have the -A option as well as -a; try that:

Code:
$ ls -las

moosex::poe::aliased

MooseX::POE::Aliased(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 MooseX::POE::Aliased(3pm)

NAME

       MooseX::POE::Aliased - A sane alias attribute for your MooseX::POE objects.

VERSION

       version 0.215

SYNOPSIS

	       use MooseX::POE;

	   with qw(MooseX::POE::Aliased);

	   my $obj = Foo->new( alias => "blah" );

	   $obj->alias("arf"); # previous one is removed, new one is set

	   $obj->alias(undef); # no alias set

DESCRIPTION

       This role provides an "alias" attribute for your MooseX::POE objects.

       The attribute can be set, causing the current alias to be cleared and the new value to be set.

METHODS

   alias
       The alias to set for the session.

       Defaults to the "overload::StrVal" of the object.

       If the value is set at runtime the alias will be updated in the POE::Kernel.

       A value of "undef" inhibits aliasing.
