I just installed Test::Simple 0.98 for a package that is dependent on Test::More 0.98:

<Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread>

But when I try the install of the dependent package it complains:

Warning: prerequisite Test::More 0.98 not found. We have 0.96.

So then I go looking an find Test::More is installed in both lib and site\lib:

Looking inside the two more.pms, the lib is 0.98 and site\lib is 0.96.

Which means site\lib overrides lib?

And why has it suddenly started installing itself in a different place?
