Oh, it's pretty simple.  In my test environnent, stuff like Chatbot::Eliza is
installed in ~gozer/lib_perl and accessible because my PERL5LIB points to it.

But PERL5LIB is clobbered somewhere and my eliza test fails all the time ;-)

In reality, in many environnement I worked with, the value of PERL5LIB is 
sytem wide and _really_ important to find, say, all the locally installed
CPAN Modules, etc...

gethostent not implemented : Your C library apparently
doesn't implement gethostent(), probably because if it did,
it'd feel morally obligated to return every hostname on the
Internet.
