That's from the expansion of
$(MINIPERL_UP) $(MMS$SOURCE)
?
If so, until recently, that was
$(MINIPERL) -"I[-.lib]" $(MMS$SOURCE)
with MINIPERL = MCR $(MINIPERL_EXE) "-I[.lib]"
So, which directory does it run in?
Was I overly aggressive in
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blobdiff/961b49424657d49b2fbc2121bae68b67175886d8..052792984b8f177f8f314261429d93930437fc49:/vms/descrip_mms.template
in that quite a lot of the scripts being run as
MCR $(MINIPERL_EXE) "-I[.lib]" -"I[-.lib]" $(MMS$SOURCE)
really didn't need -"I[-.lib]" as they were run from the top level, rather
one down? Were a lot of the -"I[-.lib]" defensive-cargo cult? Or do some of
the scripts change directory, so ./lib *and* ../lib are needed?

I don't see that on Unix. I'm not sure why it's happening, and why it would be
just for one module.
