in thread Including periodically changing data with modules

This didn't work for me at all, I'm finding this module to be more trouble than it is worth. Good idea, horrible docs and only slightly less complex than the task itself.
This nonsensery comes in two components, neither makes sense. One of them wants your stuff to be in ./lib/auto, (the loader), while the installer wants it to be in ./share. Use both of the defaults, and "make test" won't work. It moves the files to ./blib/lib/auto, but it doesn't set up the testing environment to use it I suppose. The loader isn't of much help either, cloaking the full location of the failed open -- or whatever it is failing at.

I mean come on, where the fuck is the module dir. I've tried setting it to the module name (__PACKAGE__) and giving it the dist-name, neither work. It works outside using a "prove -l ./t/*.t" 

# Compile-testing for PITA::Report
use lib ();
use File::Spec::Functions ':ALL';
BEGIN {
    $| = 1;
    unless ( $ENV{HARNESS_ACTIVE} ) {
        require FindBin;
        $FindBin::Bin = $FindBin::Bin; # Avoid a warning
        chdir catdir( $FindBin::Bin, updir() );
        lib->import(
            catdir('blib', 'lib'),
            catdir('blib', 'arch'),
            'lib',
            );
    }

So you have to code like that above every test script? eww.
really this module just needs some non-shitty docs, it isn't half bad
