There are two things I might suggest:

In the output you provided you gave perl -c /home/henry/gitr/MAS/lib/MAS/Global.pl as an example to show that perl could find it; however, that command would only check the syntax of the file name you provided (the full path to the module). By running perl -c ./t/8bit.t you have perl check the syntax of the test file (it's perl code too, after all), and if it can see the module it should pass.

prove's -I option adds a library path for prove to include when running. prove's man page includes this comment about @INC:

@INC
prove introduces a separation between "options passed to the perl which runs prove" and "options passed to the perl which runs tests"; this distinction is by design. Thus the perl which is running a test starts with the default @INC. Additional library directories can be added via the "PERL5LIB" environment variable, via -Ifoo in "PERL5OPT" or via the "-Ilib" option to prove.
It looks as if using the -I option might add the given path you need to have the test complete successfully.

Hope that helps.
