"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament],
'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will
the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the
kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."

NAME takes a module after which the distribution is to be named
(IO::Stringy). DISTNAME allows you to override the default
distribution name (IO-Stringy). I don't know why you want it to be
IO-stringy instead of IO-Stringy as it seems needlessly inconsistent,
but whatever floats your boat.
So to do what you want to do....
NAME => 'IO::Stringy',
DISTNAME => 'IO-stringy'
It is not a bug in MakeMaker.
