I was going to post an RFC on my first-ever module released to CPAN, but it appears there is a problem that needs to be resolved first. I'll post the official RFC after I am convinced others can actually install the thing.

The distribution in question is RandomJungle. There are 8 modules, one of which (TestData.pm) contains the gold-standard data that is used by the test suite. There is something wrong with my build because all of the CPAN test reports are failing with messages like this: 

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /home/cpan/pit/thr-ld/perl-5.12.3/bin/perl "-MExtUti
+ls::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.
+t

Can't locate RandomJungle/TestData.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/cp

It works perfectly on my local system (of course). As this is my first time through the process, I suspect I'm missing something fairly basic. Could someone please enlighten me?
