So it's possible we're causing the testers to break because the command line is too long when it tries to include all 800 paths. This might be causing the overall failure. I'm not certain but it would be the first thing I would investigate. Todd PS. I inquired before we published if this would break testers. I was aware of how the testers run perl with a series of -I arguements for each module individually. I was told not to worry about it and the issue if any would be addressed. Sorry if I've caused issues!
