This is perl6 version 2012.04-52-gb64c1e9 built on parrot 4.3.0
revision RELEASE_4_3_0

First, the module is in the lib directory:

Wynne:Math-Prime colomon$ PERL6LIB=lib perl6 t/01-basic.t
ok 1 - First ten primes are correct
ok 2 - Primes 60 through 69 are correct
...etc...

Next two show that adding -Ilib instead of using PERL6LIB doesn't do
anything at all:

Wynne:Math-Prime colomon$ perl6 t/01-basic.t
===SORRY!===
Could not find Math::Prime in any of: /Users/colomon/.perl6/lib,
/Users/colomon/tools/rakudo/install/lib/parrot/4.3.0-devel/languages/perl6/lib,
.

Wynne:Math-Prime colomon$ perl6 -Ilib t/01-basic.t
===SORRY!===
Could not find Math::Prime in any of: /Users/colomon/.perl6/lib,
/Users/colomon/tools/rakudo/install/lib/parrot/4.3.0-devel/languages/perl6/lib,
.

Finally, what happens if we just give it -I, no directory specified?

Wynne:Math-Prime colomon$ perl6 -I t/01-basic.t
No such option -I
 [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]

        With no arguments, enters a REPL. With a "[programfile]" or the
        "-e" option, compiles the given program and by default also
        executes the compiled code.
 ...etc...

In other words, it appears -Ilib is being parsed as a meaningful
command line option, but is silently ignored.
