Yes, of course, that makes sense. However, when I dump my @INC the blib
directories show up above the project/lib directory:
$VAR1 = [
'/home/quicktel/QT-Web/blib/lib',
'/home/quicktel/QT-Web/blib/arch',
'/home/quicktel/QT-Web/lib',
'lib',
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux',
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2',
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux',
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2',
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl',
'/usr/share/perl5/',
'.'
];

I'm not sure what you want to see. I know that if I run make before
running the test, my changes are seen. Otherwise, they are skipped.

OK.

Yes, see above for dump. I know that I didn't manually add the blib
paths to my modules and grepping the lib directory for blib turns up
nothing. Could the blib paths be getting added by the make operation?

OK, I was dumping it from within my test. Well, adding the following
line:
warn Dumper([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
Didn't output anything. It seems like A-T is not accessing this file at
all. So, that begs the question of how are the blib paths getting set at
all?

If I can shed some more light on these files, I'd be glad to contribute
a patch. First, I need to figure out how they are working/not working.
Thanks,
