Prima::noX11 is a part of Prima. It is not found because CPANPLUS apparently
doesn't execute "make install", but relies on hacking $ENV{PERL5LIB}. This
doesn't work for Prima, because its build process is not based on populating
./blib.

I've talked with chris@ about that (his machines reported FAILs), and we agreed
that if that's too hard for CPANPLUS to deal with Prima specificities, it shall
be entirely excluded from the testing. This, apparently, did not happen, so
that's why I'm interested in avoiding CPANPLUS.

I'm not saying though that I'd insist on that; if CPANPLUS becomes smarter
tomorrow, then of course I'd be first to use it. If that would take ages
though, then I'd rather avoid it once and for all.

Thanks :)
