How to run "Build test" showing text outputs?

llancet has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm writing a module with XS contents. It failed on a simple test which creates an object, but the error message are eaten by the Build script. In addition, I cannot just run the test script by "perl t/XXX.t", because the .so files under blib/arch/auto cannot be found by perl, and I don't know how to let perl found them. So, how can I run my test scripts and get the error messages?

`perl -Mblib t/xxx.t`, or `prove -bv t/xxx.t` The blib module tells Perl to look in `./blib` for library files. The "-b" flag for prove tells `prove` to invoke the -Mblib semantics. Dave	[reply] [d/l] [select]

~~Could also do `prove -Ilib t/XXX.t --verbose`.~~ Never mind. Didn't read davidio's answer completely. --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks everyone! I found that "auto" is searched via @INC, thus it can also be run via: `perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib XXX.t` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
