I was trying to test one of my modules[1] on an earlier version of Perl
(5.6.2 to be exact) and so I had to go through the pain of installing
all of the prerequisites that it has (and its parent, and its
grandparents, etc). There was some problems with Test::Builder[2], so I
abandoned that for the moment. Now, I cannot get my tests to run using
my current Perl (5.8.7) and I get errors like this:
Can't locate SVN/Notify.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

.) at /usr/local
NOTE that is running the default perl (which claims to be 5.8.7)!!!
What on Earth have I done to my machine??? I've done
$ ./Build distclean
and ensured that there are no residual files, but somehow something is
redefining perl without my knowledge. I reinstalled Module::Build and
most of Test::* with no effect.
HELP!
