we are on Cygwin: 1.5.18(0.132/4/2) 2005-07-02 20:30, perl is the latest

We have a problem building modules, i.e. make test fails if a .pm file
in the source package is located below the root in a subdirectory called
'lib'.


Hmm.  That's very strange.  Particularly the oscilating nature.  The reason
its failing only when in lib/ is because '.' is in @INC so it can find
the module.  If you run the tests under taint mode (which removes the .)
they should fail.

I'm going to guess somethign wacky is going on inside Test::Harness.  What
version is being used?

The dafault Test::Harness which is included with perl-5.8.7: $ perl -e 'use Test::Harness; print "$Test::Harness::VERSION\n";' 2.48
