Math::Complex still fails on HP-UX 10.20.
No reply from either Zefram or Jarkko as yet
My suggested change was only verbosity so far. No fix.

correct.

assuming I smoke from /foo/CPAN/perl-current, having a /foo/CPAN/blib
will cause the blib test to fail. That folder was there by accident,
and I removed it, but I still have the opinion that having dirs outside
of the smoked source tree that are not to be expected system folders
(like / or /etc) should not make tests fail.
