Apparently that was causing the problem. I moved the source kit elsewhere, built and tested and the test ran successfully. (I guess that's what I get for reading CONFIGURE.COM where it creates [LIB.SITE_PERL] as a place for users to put site-specific extensions and modules.) Having installed PathTools into PERL_ROOT (via MMK INSTALL), is it possible to run the full Perl test suite on the installed (& updated) version of Perl?
