O blessed ones --

We are hoping to get local::lib working on an HP-UX system via the instructions from the local::lib manpage

...and we run into errors at the

perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap

step (for Module::Build) namely:

t/basic.t ...................... 22/58
#   Failed test at t/basic.t line 141.
#          got: '--bar'
#     expected: '1'

#   Failed test 'bar'
#   at t/basic.t line 142.
#          got: '-bat=hello'
#     expected: '2'

#   Failed test 'bat'
#   at t/basic.t line 143.
#          got: undef
#     expected: 'hello'

#   Failed test at t/basic.t line 158.
#          got: '--bar'
#     expected: '1'

#   Failed test at t/basic.t line 162.
#          got: '--bar'
#     expected: '1'

Is there an enlightened/elegant way to get past this snag? We've gone looking for the test files to see what they're really testing and haven't found them (not in ./lib, not in /tmp/*...)

Looks good

We also ran perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap | tee Building.out which produces slightly different output (when STDOUT isn't to a TTY) and can provide that if it's helpful.
