My problem is if have a large project ( Apache::PageKit ) that works currently
with perl < 5.6.1, perl > 5.6.1 but < 5.8 and perl >= 5.8. Thats no problem,
but a newbie can not install it propper. So my intent is a installation
process that does a the right thing for the installed version of perl. Since
I prefer a automatic solution I test the version of perl and apply all needed
patches to Apache::PageKit during the 'make' phase. That leads to different
version of Apache:PageKit in the lib and blib/lib directories. With the
current version of Apache::Test the version in lib is tested. But 'make
install' installs the version from blib/lib. And depending from your perl
they are different.
I reported that to Stas and he explaind that the lib path is hardcoded to make
development easier. As a solution he suggest a ENV var that when set prefer
the lib dir for development.
Then Stas kindly produce a patch that I tested today against Apache::Test
1.04.

In short lib is searched before blib/lib. I had a workaround that overwrites
some routines in Apache::Test but it is really uggly and may not work taht
long. Im happy that Stas is now looking into the problem.
my modperl_onc.pl contains this lines:
###### modperl_inc.pl
use lib '/tmp/ap_ex/blib/arch';
use lib '/tmp/ap_ex/blib/lib';
1;
##### extra.last.conf.in
<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlSetVar PKIT_ROOT @ServerRoot@/../eg
PerlSetVar PKIT_SERVER staging
PerlHandler +Apache::PageKit
<Perl>
use Apache::PageKit;
Apache::PageKit->startup('@ServerRoot@/../eg','staging');
</Perl>
</Location>
and here is my @INC as you can see loaded from lib and not from blib/lib as
desired.
Can't locate Text/Iconv.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /tmp/ap_ex/Apache-Test/
lib /tmp/ap_ex/lib /tmp/ap_ex/blib/lib /tmp/ap_ex/blib/arch /home/ptest/lib/
