In this case, adding '.' to the distribution's Makefile.PL made no

Based on this example and several other failures, my hunch is that many
of the failures which we'll see on CPAN are failures of *tests* rather than
failures of the modules themselves.
I would agree. I'd also encourage authors to not add "use lib '.';" to
their tests to fix these issues, but rather move the test modules to t/lib
and instead "use lib 't/lib'".
Well, now that you mention it ...
One of the other distros that failed when I was trying this out earlier
today was Module-Runtime. I submitted a patch for Zefram's review in
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=118768. In that patch, as
well as in the patch to my own distro, I simply added '.'. Feel free to
kibitz in 118768.
