Thanks a lot. I really need to learn more about git. :)

And yeah, that is an interesting approach, but i can see how it would be pretty 
painful to get working reliably.

What i am thinking about is a bit more simplicistic. The sub set_perl5lib is 
responsible for going through the internal is_tested list and prepending its 
contents onto PERL5LIB. What i'd change it to is a function that instead 
creates a temp dir in something like .cpan/build_reuse/******, copies all the 
blibs and archs into that and then prepends that. It's a bit more work 
file-system-wise, but it should be pretty reliable.

(Something else i'd like to solve there is a filtering of which of these dists 
are actually prereqs and which aren't.)

If you have any thoughts on this approach, please let me know. :)
