Re^2: What is cpan (the installer) doing prepending all these directories to the PERL5LIB path?

is_tested
List all build directories of distributions that have been tested successfully but have not yet been installed. See also install_tested.

So it seems you are testing modules without installing them.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

It's the modules that were tested but not installed during a session. At least according to my testing, the list isn't persistent. Exiting the shell resets the list. This also means it doesn't apply to `cpan -t MODULE`	[reply] [d/l]
