Testing without installing works by adding all relevant blib directories to the environment variable PERL5LIB. This works until you reach a limit in your operating system on the length of environment variables. Personally I find not installing things inefficient because you may have to build dependencies again and again. I prefer to install things and remove old perls every now and then. But one of the beauties of cpantesters is that everybody finds a different way to do it so that we find different bugs. -- andreas
