Using MakeMaker, "make test" does this: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 -I/usr/share/perl/5.6.1 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t Now, I can understand why -Iblib/arch and -Iblib/lib are there, but why -I/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 and -I/usr/share/perl/5.6.1? As these are hard-wired into perl, why is it necessary to reiterte them on the command line? This often causes annoyances when I have something like PERL5LIB set to point at my personal library directory. It leaves me unable to override core libraries with personal versions (at least for the purposes of running tests). What's the rationale here? Why is it necessary to put -I$PERL_ARCHLIB and -I$PERL_LIB in the test run anyway? -- Michael G.
