In the sense that it isn't mentioned in the POD.

I see. Neat trick.

OK.

That's what I was playing with this morning when I realized the fix
doesn't really cure the bug I'm seeing.

Yes, drop the use lib which is more in line which how A::TestConfig is
written (it nevers calls use lib). Apparently, calling 'use lib' fixes
the import function and has nothing to do with the order it's called in
as I had surmised in an earlier email.
