Are "prove" and "Build" using the same copy of Perl? What happens if you "Build test --verbose=1"? It's not surprising that taking out the <META> loop removes the hang, since that's basically the entire test. It's loading every module in the prerequisites; it's probable that one of them is hanging. But the only things it should be loading are Carp, Exporter, and XSLoader. Of those, I guess the most likely to hang is XSLoader, but it's still surprising.
